This timelapse of Alex Honnold’s 1 hour 35 minute free solo climb of Taipei 101 is unreal.
He said the main challenge was “not getting complacent up the bamboo boxes, because it’s 64 of the same sequence over and over.”
His music playlist (mostly Tool) helped because each bamboo box took about the length of a song and he could keep pace.
Honnold wants to climb other mega skyscrapers if allowed.
Thinks Taipei 101 was the ideal challenge, though: “This one is so perfect for climbing. There are some buildings that are almost too easy for climbing. Like, ones that have a window washing track on the outside, where you’re just hand over handing on some track the whole way. You can climb it, but it’s not a challenge. The thing about Taipei 101 is it’s perfectly in the sweet spot for me, where it’s possible, and it’s not too insanely hard.”

@JerryLEADS Thank you for this. It's been a long tenure under this man and it's getting exhausting.
His recent public communication is baffling & leaves me speechless. (what is the actual goal here? I just can't tell.)
But! I'm thankful you've added your voice to the record in this way.

A Texas woman was put on an emergency flight to Colorado *in the middle of a miscarriage* to save her life, and NPR just gets quotes from both sides of the ‘saving women in mortal peril’ debate & calls it a day. Things might get awkward if you ask John Seago follow-up questions!
Keep thinking about how much it would have meant to me to *virtually attend* Sundance when I was 16 years old
and also about how my parents would just....not have paid the amount of money i'm currently spending
