Skyscraper Live

Matt Roush says...

Watching Alex Honnold in action, the subject of 2018’s Oscar-winning documentary Free Solo, can be a breathtaking and nerve-wracking experience as he scales mountains and cliff faces without the benefit of ropes. In a two-hour livestreamed event, Honnold (now 40) attempts a new challenge: climbing one of the world’s tallest skyscrapers, Taiwan’s Taipei 101, a 1,667-foot structure with perilous overhanging balconies. Your challenge: Watching without hiding your eyes between your fingers.
