Alex Honnold will have to wait another day to try and climb one of the tallest skyscrapers in the world … and it’s all because of safety concerns.<\/p>\n

Netflix announced Friday that Alex’s highly-anticipated climb on “Skyscraper Live” was unable to proceed due to weather.<\/p>\n

The announcement came just minutes before the event was supposed to start at 5 PM PT … and Netflix says Alex will try to scale the skyscraper Saturday at 5 PM PT.<\/p>\n

Netflix says, “Safety remains our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Alex, a professional rock climber, is waiting to try and climb Taipei 101 in Taiwan’s capital … the skyscraper is 1,667 feet and 101 stories and Alex wants to climb it without the aid of ropes.<\/p>\n

He’s best known for his free solo climb of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park back in 2017 … the climb was documented in “Free Solo,” and it won an Oscar.<\/p>\n

French climber Alain Robert climbed Taipei 101 with ropes … but Alex says if he scales the tower in a free climb it would be “the biggest urban free solo ever.”<\/p>\n

Sounds good … but it’s going to have to wait.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Netflix ‘Skyscraper Live’ Safety First!!!
