What happens

Skyscraper Live is a Netflix special in which American climber Alex Honnold scaled the Taiwan skyscraper Taipei 101 without the use of ropes. The ascent was broadcast live on January 25, 2026, and was hosted by sports broadcaster Elle Duncan, along with professional wrestler Seth Rollins, climber Emily Harrington, climber and climbing broadcaster Pete Woods and YouTuber Mark Rober. Outside magazine claimed the stunt was the highest free solo climb of an urban structure, though this record is disputed with Dan Goodwin's 1986 ascent of the CN Tower. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
