American rock climber Alex Honnold reaches top of Taipei 101 skyscraper without ropes

American rock climber Alex Honnold completed a free solo climb of the Taipei 101 skyscraper in Taiwan, reaching the top without ropes or protective equipment. The climb, which took about 90 minutes, was broadcast live on Netflix. Honnold, known for his ropeless ascent of Yosemite's El Capitan, faced challenges navigating the building's unique structure, including steep overhangs and ornamental features. The event sparked discussions about the ethics of live broadcasting such high-risk activities.
