Before
Originally climbed as an easier variation of [Salathé Wall](/climb/814/salathé-wall), avoiding the hard crack pitches on the headwall, *Freerider* is now one of the most popular free routes on [El Capitan](/crag/8023/el-capitan). The line was spotted by Alex Huber during his free ascent of the Salathé Wall in 1995. Skinner and Piana also considered the possibility of bypassing some of the hardest climbing on the Salathe via sections of what was to become Freerider but opted to follow the original aid line of that route as closely as they were able to. There are two common variations that make up the crux of the route, *The Boulder Problem* at around 7c+ sport or 7B/+ boulder or *The Teflon Corner* at around 7c sport. The boulder problem is short, technical and crimpy while the teflon corner features extremely technical smearing. While the rest of the route is seldom easy the other notable hard pitches are *The Monster Offwidth* and *The Enduro Corner*. [Dan McManus](/climber/2474/dan-mcmanus) on *The Monster Offwidth*: > Left side in! The first time I climbed this pitch I had been told that it was crucial to climb it with a specific side in the crack, but I couldn’t remember which side. I guessed right side, I was wrong, but I did miraculously manage to chicken-wing my way up by the skin of my teeth. In doing so I removed the skin on my tricep which oozed for the next few days and made further offwidths very painful.
