On May 18, 2019, Hoffmeister raced as a professional rock climber and became the world-record holder for most El Capitan ascents Hans Florine in a NIAD ("Nose In A Day" – 3000 feet of rock climbing in one day). The race was titled "Super Local vs. Super Pro," and took place at The Columns, Skinner's Butte Park, in Eugene, Oregon. Both climbers were coming back from devastating injuries. Hoffmeister had the advantage of knowing all of the routes. Florine did not know the routes but is one of the greatest speed climbers of all time. Hoffmeister won the race, climbing 3000 feet, 64 routes, in 2:05:55. Florine clocked 2:27:05 .
