Regular and reliable holds like this are fairly easy for someone like Honnold. Each individual move is basically trivial so the challenge is maintaining focus over a long period of time, which he is accustomed to as well.
Yeah the hardest move on the entire thing was the first overhang with the security camera, and that was V3\5.10. The entire event was well below any kind of test for a pro climber. The solo part attracts a lot of attention.
