The highly anticipated 'Skyscraper Live' event featuring Alex Honnold's ropeless climb of Taipei 101 has been postponed due to unforeseen weather conditions. This decision, made with safety as the top priority, ensures that Honnold, a renowned professional rock climber, can attempt the daring feat without unnecessary risks. The climb was originally set to take place on Saturday, but the rain that persisted in Taipei less than an hour before the scheduled start time prompted organizers to delay the event until Sunday morning, when the weather is expected to clear up. This delay will allow Honnold to attempt the climb under more favorable conditions, ensuring both his safety and the success of the live broadcast on Netflix. The event will now air live on Saturday evening in the U.S. at 5 p.m. Pacific or 8 p.m. Eastern, providing viewers with an opportunity to witness this extraordinary feat in real-time. Despite the disappointment of the delay, a crowd of about 100 people, including a dedicated Taiwanese fan named Queenie Chang, expressed understanding and support for the decision, prioritizing Honnold's well-being above all else.
