TL;DR

Netflix will air a live, rope‑free ascent of Taipei 101 by Alex Honnold as Skyscraper Live, backed by extensive safety planning, weather contingencies, and a 10‑second delay to cut away if needed; production relies on multiple cameras, drones, and a helicopter, with the option to delay to another day and a plan to air a shorter highlights version for non‑live viewers.
