Alex Honnold Postpones Taipei 101 Free Solo Climb Following Heavy Rain

#XinyiDistrict, #Taiwan
Netflix postponed Alex Honnold's rope-free climb of the Taipei 101 skyscraper until Sunday after weather conditions in Taiwan made the initial Saturday attempt impossible.The 40-year-old athlete, who rose to fame for his solo ascent of El Capitan in the USA, aims to scale the 508-meter building without any safety equipment for a live broadcast.Sports scientist Thomas Horky criticized the production of "Skyscraper Live" as ethically questionable while organizers emphasized that athlete safety prompted the delay.
