In a jaw-dropping achievement, American rock climber Alex Honnold has become the first person to free solo Taipei 101 in Taiwan, scaling the 508-metre, 101-storey skyscraper without ropes, harnesses, or any safety equipment. Using only his hands, feet, and a chalk bag for grip, Honnold completed the ascent in about 1 hour and 30 minutes, thrilling thousands of spectators below and millions watching worldwide.
This landmark climb sets a new standard in urban free soloing, with Honnold describing the view from the summit as “incredible,” marking a historic moment in the world of extreme climbing.
