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.
American Alex Honnold climbed to the top of the 1,667-foot Taipei 101 skyscraper on Saturday without the help of ropes or any protective equipment.
The live Netflix special was supposed to air Friday night but was postponed until Saturday due to poor weather conditions.
