Wait, what?
According to Outside Magazine, the legendary rock climber and free soloist Alex Honnold is going to free solo climb Taipei 101, the tallest building in Taiwan, and once the tallest in the world.
Alex Honnold—yes, Mr. Free Solo himself—will star in a two-hour live TV show on Netflix in 2026, during which he will scale the tallest skyscraper in Taiwan (gulp) without any safety ropes. Yep, Honnold will go buildering on a very tall building on live TV, and he will do it while adhering to the risky climbing style that made him famous. According to a news release published by Netflix, the ordeal will be titled Skyscraper Live, and it will be staged on a building called Taipei 101, which stands 1,667 feet fall and has 101 floors. In the release, Brandon Riegg, the vice president of nonfiction series and sports at Netflix, called the whole thing an “adrenaline inducing spectacle that you can’t look away from.”For those of you who don't know, Alex Honnold is an incredibly famous rock climber who climbed the infamous El Capitan in Yosemite without any ropes. It was one of the most incredible feats of athletic skill and human endurance that anyone ever imagined. The feat was captured on film in the documentary Free Solo, which went on to win the Academy Award.
