Alex Honnold is preparing to push the limits of human nerve and athleticism once again, this time far from the safety of natural rock faces and high above a bustling Asian metropolis.
The world-famous climber has announced plans to attempt a ropeless ascent of Taipei 101 in Taiwan, one of the tallest skyscrapers on Earth, with the entire climb set to be broadcast live on Netflix. Standing at nearly 1,700 feet and stretching 101 stories into the sky, the former world's tallest building will become the stage for what Honnold has described as the most ambitious urban climb of his career.
