Professional climber Alex Honnald’s live-on-Netflix climb of Taipei 101, one of the world’s tallest skyscrapers, has been rescheduled due to weather, Netflix announced Friday night. The streaming service said on X the climb has been rescheduled from Friday night ET to 8 p.m. ET Saturday. “Safety remains our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding,” Netflix said. Taiwan public meteorologists have rain in the forecast for the next 24 hours. Climbing a 1,667-foot skyscraper without ropes or protective equipment would be daunting for most people, but not Honnold. In fact, he doesn’t even think it’ll be that much of a challenge. “I don’t think it’ll be that extreme,” Honnold said. “We’ll see. I think it’s the perfect sweet spot where it’s hard enough to be engaging for me and obviously an interesting climb.” Honnold, who is known for his legendary ropeless ascent up Yosemite National Park’s El Capitan, documented in “Free Solo,” has been looking to push himself — and the limits of climbing.

France’s Alain Robert did it in 2004 to celebrate the grand opening of the building, which at the time was the world’s tallest. It took Robert nearly four hours to finish. The “Skyscraper Live” broadcast will be on a 10-second delay.
