Alex Honnold, Taipei and rock
Digest more
Skyscraper Live is an event that will feature rock climber Alex Honnold climbing the Taipei 101 skyscraper, one of the tallest buildings in the world, without a harness. Honnold is best known as the star of "Free Solo," a documentary that focused on his attempt to climb the El Capitan rock formation in Yosemite National Park without a harness.
In “Skyscraper Live,” the climber once again put his life on the line, but it was mainly the viewers who were on edge.
While Alex Honnold attempts insane feats like scaling Taiwan's 101-story Taipei101 for Netflix's Skyscraper Live, it's the support of wife Sanni McCandless that truly lets him operate without a net.
The live Netflix special was supposed to air Friday night but was postponed until Saturday due to poor weather conditions.
