After completing the first free solo climb of Yosemite National Park’s El Capitan rock formation, Alex Honnold is set to scale the Taipei 101 skyscraper in Taipei, the 11th-tallest building in the world. Like last time, he’ll forgo ropes and equipment, and his journey will be captured on camera. Honnold’s partner will also watch on in support, just like she did in the Oscar-winning documentary Free Solo.

However, quite a bit has changed in the years since Free Solo came out in 2018. The rock climber has not only married his aforementioned partner, but they’ve also started a family together. Before Netflix broadcasts Honnold’s ascent live, get to know his wife, Sanni McCandless, and their kids.
