Yesterday (4/11/2019), Alex Honnold was in Boston promoting his work. I went to the event and had an opportunity to work on the “bouldering problem” with him.
What is the “bouldering problem”?
The bouldering problem is the hardest part of the El Captian in his El Captian Free Solo routes. It was a sequence of crimp and dimple holds, which made it more like a problem in bouldering competition. When Alex was in BKB, he and the router setter recreated the bouldering problem on the wall so we can try it out.
