Professional climber Alex Honnald’s live-on-Netflix climb<\/a> of Taipei 101, one of the world’s tallest skyscrapers, has been rescheduled due to weather, Netflix announced Friday night.
The streaming service said on X the climb has been rescheduled<\/a> from Friday night ET to 8 p.m. ET Saturday.
“Safety remains our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding,” Netflix said.
Taiwan public meteorologists<\/a> have rain in the forecast for the next 24 hours.
Climbing a 1,667-foot skyscraper without ropes or protective equipment would be daunting for most people, but not Honnold. In fact, he doesn\u2019t even think it\u2019ll be that much of a challenge.
\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019ll be that extreme,\u201d Honnold said. \u201cWe\u2019ll see. I think it\u2019s the perfect sweet spot where it\u2019s hard enough to be engaging for me and obviously an interesting climb.\u201d
Honnold, who is known for his legendary ropeless ascent up Yosemite National Park\u2019s El Capitan<\/a>, documented in \u201cFree Solo,\u201d has been looking to push himself \u2014 and the limits of climbing.
\u201cWhen you look at climbing objectives, you look for things that are singular,\u201d Honnold told The Associated Press late last year. \u201cSomething like El Capitan where it\u2019s way bigger and way prouder than all the things around it.\u201d
Others have climbed Taipei 101, but never without a rope.
France\u2019s Alain Robert did it in 2004 to celebrate the grand opening of the building, which at the time was the world\u2019s tallest. It took Robert nearly four hours to finish.
The \u201cSkyscraper Live\u201d broadcast will be on a 10-second delay.
