This seems to be the prevailing sentiment amongst non-climbers...
But it's simply wrong.
Honnold's climb of Freerider on ElCap (which was captured on film by the legendary Jimmy Chin) is EASILY 10x more impressive than what Alex did on the skyscraper.
I don't think it's possible to fully appreciate the absurdity of Honnold's free solo of ElCap unless you yourself have been on that climb.
I have...
I've been up there...
I've done all the moves...
(and this was during a period of my life wher I was in the top 0.00001% of strongest climbers in the world)
And I got my ass handed to me.
The 13a crux 23 pitches off the ground is unbelievably technical and requires a level of precision that, to execute without a rope, is nearly unbelievable.
This is a hill I will gladly die on:
Honnold's free solo of ElCap is THE single most impressive athletic achievement in human history.
Nothing else comes even remotely close.
(and certainly not this skyscraper).
If you want to have your paradigm for what humans are capable of turned upside down...
Go watch Free Solo.

On this 9/11, we remember Osama Bin Laden, who was a human being and a father who didn't deserve to get shot for having different opinions. Murder is wrong.
