An American climber has scaled one of Asia’s tallest buildings, Taipei 101. Alex Honnold climbed it without any safety gear. The event was initially postponed due to poor weather; but when the skies cleared, he began his slow ascent in front of nervous crowds, and a global Netflix streaming audience.

My legs are so numb,just from watching this.
Canโt believe. He is a hero for me ๐๐๐๐
Dicing with death
Incredible ๐
Spiderman would be proud.
Probably one of his easiest climb considering there's soo many holds.
If he were to fall during the climbing, what is there that he will survive?
I am almost fainted just to watch the clip.
I used to think these climbers were crazy. I realize that they are in fact, crazy. But what I see is a man living his life and chasing his dream. A well prepared, well trained man.
This building to him is like stairs to us. El Cap is like 30x harder.
Guess Redbull lost the bid to Netflix. Redbull would've been better
Oh yeah, this dude is INSANE!!!
Taiwan is a country
ๅใใใ
๐๐๐๐ from Taiwan!!
What if he slipped?!!!!!!!!
I don't think the sports psychologist wasted a single word!
I wish I could speak with that much clarity
Did you watch the movie? I watched it
I can't see even me am scared
999,999, red bull missed calls.
This is Not a big deal ๐ต๐ฐ, I'm sure if i trained myself for three to 4 years i can watch this Video without losing the weight of my testicles ๐.
Absolutely well done, Alex Honnold. An incredible feat.
Brave
Was that Mark Rober in the ab shoot?
Sports psychologist needs a diet
What exactly is his motive? To what end? This is just a suicide mission
