Netflix Postpones Alex Honnold's Skyscraper Live Climb Due to Weather
Netflix has rescheduled Alex Honnold's Skyscraper Live climb of Taipei 101 to Jan 24 due to rain. Watch the Free Solo star tackle 1,600 feet live.
Just 30 minutes before the world was set to watch a man defy gravity, mother nature stepped in. Netflix has announced a delay for Alex Honnold's highly anticipated Skyscraper Live event, where the Free Solo star aims to scale the Taipei 101 without any safety gear.
Safety First: Netflix Reschedules Alex Honnold Skyscraper Live
According to official statements, the event originally scheduled for Friday has been moved to Saturday, January 24 at 8 PM ET. The postponement was triggered by rain in Taipei, making the glass surface of the 101-story building far too dangerous for a free solo attempt. "Safety remains our top priority," Netflix stated, emphasizing the high stakes of this live broadcast.
The Challenge of Scaling the 1,600-Foot Taipei 101
Honnold is targeting the 11th tallest building in the world. Standing at over 1,600 feet, the structure features unique "bamboo boxes"—eight overhanging segments that Honnold described as the most physically demanding part. Each segment spans 8 floors, creating a steep 10 to 15-degree incline that he must navigate with zero ropes or harnesses.
