<p>Via <em>The Boulder Problem</em>. Surely one of the wildest solo ascents ever. Honnold climbed some minor variations to the usual line of Freerider which he considered more secure for a soloist: a line on the right of the second Freeblast slab (pitch 6, no change in grade); a 5.10c pitch leaving Heart Ledge to avoid an insecure 5.11c friction move; and taking a lower traverse into a hand crack that widens to the Monster Offwidth to avoid a 5.12a undercling move (Pitch 18). </p> <h3>References</h3> <p>[1] <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BU5oSrWhFWW/">https://www.instagram.com/p/BU5oSrWhFWW/</a></p> <p>[2] <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C9xj6Kwv2-y/">https://www.instagram.com/p/C9xj6Kwv2-y/</a></p> <p>[3] <a href="https://publications.americanalpineclub.org/articles/13201214748/">https://publications.americanalpineclub.org/articles/13201214748/</a></p>
