TL;DR

Alex Honnold completed a live free-solo ascent of Taipei 101 during Netflix’s Skyscraper Live, taking about 90 minutes and setting the record for the tallest urban free climb. He reached the sphere, waved to fans, and descended with his wife Sanni McCandless nearby; the broadcast blended drone footage, pre-taped segments, and a built-in 10-second safety delay after weather caused a schedule shift.
