Overview
- Streaming on Netflix’s Skyscraper Live, Honnold completed the rope‑free ascent in about 1:31:35.
- Friday’s planned attempt was called off roughly 30 minutes before airtime due to wet, slippery conditions and reset for Saturday night.
- The production incorporated a short broadcast delay so producers could cut away in an emergency, with camera teams in constant contact with Honnold.
- Taipei 101’s stacked “bamboo box” segments and regular balconies made the climb an endurance test distinct from natural rock routes.
- The event drew ethical criticism over televising life‑threatening feats and spurred online wagering on outcomes and completion time.
