It was the high point of his career.

Renowned American rock climber Alex Honnold just pulled off one of his most daring stunts — climbing to the 1,667-foot Taipei 101 skyscraper on Sunday without ropes or protective gear.

Honnold, 40, needed just over 90 minutes to get to the top of the tower, one of the world’s tallest, as part of a deal with Netflix, which broadcast the “Skyscraper Live” event. 

Wearing a red short-sleeve shirt, he waved his arms back and forth over his head.

“It was like what a view, it’s incredible, what a beautiful day,” he said afterward. “It was very windy, so I was like, don’t fall off the spire. I was trying to balance nicely. But it was, what an incredible position, what a beautiful way to see Taipei.”

Honnold is no stranger to high-profile, death-defying climbs.

The native of Sacramento, California, is known for his ropeless ascent up Yosemite National Park’s El Capitan in record time.

In 2022 was the first to climb a challenging 3,750-foot sheer cliff in Greenland with fellow climber Hazel Findlay. 

For the Taipai skyscraper climb, Honnold chose one corner of the towering structure using small L-shaped outcroppings as footholds.

Periodically, he had to maneuver around and clamber up the sides of large ornamental structures that jut out from the tower, pulling himself up with his bare hands.

The building has 101 floors, with the hardest part being the 64 floors of the middle section — the “bamboo boxes” that give the building its signature look.

Divided into eight, each segment has eight floors of steep, overhanging climbing followed by balconies, where he took short rests as he made his way upward.

Honnold’s free solo climb of the iconic building in Taiwan’s capital city was broadcast live on Netflix with a 10-second delay.

The ascent, originally scheduled for Saturday, was delayed for 24 hours due to rain.

Having a cheering crowd was unusual and a bit unnerving at first for Honnold, whose climbs are usually in remote areas.

“When I was leaving the ground, you’re like oh it’s kind of intense, there’s so many people watching,” he said. “But then honestly, they’re all wishing me well. I mean basically it just makes the whole experience feel almost more festive, all these nice people are out supporting me and having a good time.”

The climb drew both excitement and concern over the ethical implications of attempting such a high-risk endeavor on live broadcast.

Asked how much he was paid to pull off the stunt, Honnold told The New York Times it wasn’t worth discussing.

“I’m not gonna say,” he said. “It’s an embarrassing amount.”

Honnold isn’t the first climber to ascend Taipei 101, but he is the first to do so without a rope. French rock climber Alain Robert scaled the building on Christmas Day in 2004 as part of the grand opening of what was then the world’s tallest building.
