American climber Alex Honnold free solo climbed the Taipei 101 skyscraper in Taiwan, taking just over 90 minutes to reach the top of the 508m tower. The climb, delayed due to rain, drew cheers from spectators below as Honnold balanced on the spire and admired the view. Known for his free solo ascents, Honnold previously conquered Yosemite’s El Capitan and navigated the Taipei 101’s challenging structure with short rests along the way. The event, broadcast live on Netflix, marked a unique experience for Honnold, who typically climbs in remote areas without an audience.
