Alex Honnold’s ropeless climb of Taipei 101 skyscraper rescheduled due to weather
Professional climber Alex Honnald’s live-on-Netflix climb of Taipei 101, one of the world’s tallest skyscrapers, has been rescheduled due to weather, Netflix announced Friday night.
The streaming service said on X the climb has been rescheduled from Friday night ET to 8 p.m. ET Saturday.
“Safety remains our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding,” Netflix said.
Taiwan public meteorologists have rain in the forecast for the next 24 hours.

Climbing a 1,667-foot skyscraper without ropes or protective equipment would be daunting for most people, but not Honnold. In fact, he doesnโt even think itโll be that much of a challenge.
โI donโt think itโll be that extreme,โ Honnold said. โWeโll see. I think itโs the perfect sweet spot where itโs hard enough to be engaging for me and obviously an interesting climb.โ
Honnold, who is known for his legendary ropeless ascent up Yosemite National Parkโs El Capitan, documented in โFree Solo,โ has been looking to push himself โ and the limits of climbing.
โWhen you look at climbing objectives, you look for things that are singular,โ Honnold told The Associated Press late last year. โSomething like El Capitan where itโs way bigger and way prouder than all the things around it.โ
Others have climbed Taipei 101, but never without a rope.
Franceโs Alain Robert did it in 2004 to celebrate the grand opening of the building, which at the time was the worldโs tallest. It took Robert nearly four hours to finish.
The โSkyscraper Liveโ broadcast will be on a 10-second delay.
