"Since 2023, Netflix has live-streamed marriage show reunions, bloody fights, and actor awards, and now they're putting together the drama of life choices, the suspense of violent sports, and accomplishments all into one death-defying broadcast. No, we really mean death-defying. They will be enabling teaming up with Alex Honnold, better known as the man who dared to, as he will be climbing one of the tallest skyscrapers in the world, the Taipei 101, on live TV. With "no ropes, no safety net, and no second takes," says Netflix. They forgot to add "all panic attacks.""
""I'm sure viewers will probably be on edge watching this," Honnold shared with Tudum. "I assume that most people will be sort of uncomfortable watching the whole thing. But I hope that viewers get a little bit of my joy from the experience - that they can appreciate the fun of it and the beauty of it, the scenery, just the whole experience. It's not just extreme sports - it's more.""
Netflix will broadcast Alex Honnold climbing the 508-meter Taipei 101 live without ropes or safety equipment, framed as a death-defying event. The climb will include expert analysis from Emily Harrington, Mark Rober, Seth Rollins, and Pete Woods and will be hosted by Elle Duncan. Honnold, known for the Oscar-winning Free Solo documentary, typically climbs natural rock formations and rarely receives permission to scale man-made buildings. The event is scheduled for Friday, January 23 at 8 P.M. ET and aims to convey both the thrill and the beauty of the climb.
