RRP LIVE: Alex Honnold On Climbing the Taipei 101 Skyscraper

Hey everybody, welcome to a very special edition of the podcast because today we have Alex Honald in the house in his very first podcast appearance post. Taipei 101 free solo skyscraper send. As many of you or some of you may know, we live streamed this event on YouTube a couple days ago in front of a live audience in our studio, which was a really fun and exciting experience. In this episode, Alex answers all the questions that we all have about why he did it, how he did it, some behind the scenes stuff that uh you probably haven't heard yet. We also hear from his wife, Sonny, about how she feels about all of this.

And we hear from the guys uh behind the scenes who produced the Netflix. broadcast about what it was like for them, as well as our man Adam Skolnick. He was there in Taipei and he shares his boots on the ground perspective, POV, as somebody who is there observing it in real time. So with that, please enjoy me, Alex Honnold, and friends. in our first of what I expect will be many more in studio before a live audience event.
