“Alex Honnold has done it again. The 40-year-old climber and dad of two successfully climbed Taiwan’s Taipei 101, one of the tallest buildings in the world, without any ropes or harnesses on Sunday, Jan. 25 (or Saturday, Jan. 24 in America) — and the event aired live on Netflix. The free solo special, Skyscraper Live, was originally scheduled to take place on Friday, Jan. 23, but weather prompted the streamer to postpone the event by 24 hours. … Honnold has been climbing for about 30 years. He was previously featured in the Oscar-winning 2018 documentary Free Solo, which chronicled his successful 2017 attempt to become the first person to summit El Capitan in Yosemite National Park without safety ropes.” (01/24/26)
