TL;DR

American climber Alex Honnold free-soloed Taipei 101, a 508-meter tower, using small ledges and ornamental protrusions with no ropes, in a Netflix livestream that was delayed 24 hours due to rain; crowds cheered as he paused mid-climb, and he spoke about inspiring others to pursue their goals while acknowledging the risks and the ethical questions around broadcasting such a high-risk feat.
