Alex Honnold Free Solos Taipei 101 in 92 Minutes (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: I'm at Taipei 101 right now, where Alex Honnold just became the very first person to free solo climb this skyscraper, which means that he did it without any ropes or protective equipment.

[00:00:10] Speaker 2: He took 92 minutes to reach the top, which is more than 1,600 feet high, and one of the tallest buildings in the world. People started gathering here around as early as 7 a.m., so about two hours before he was scheduled to start at 9 in order to cheer him on.

[00:00:24] Speaker 3: I saw it on live Netflix, and I was just like, that's actually pretty crazy.

[00:00:29] Speaker 2: Once he started climbing, it was very hard to look away. People kept their phones up, they kept their necks up, they kept their binoculars up, right until he reached the very top.
