This shot from the Honnold free solo Taipei 101 livestream is insane
Casually went 1,650 ft in 90 min with no ropes
Has to be one of the most amazing athletes alive

He’s the man.
It’s a statistics game. Dan Osman and Dean Potter and many others all made a single mistake and are no longer with us. As humans do.
Terrifying.
wow, im just gonna stick to gm for now.
His brain is wired different. I don't like heights so I'm amazed by and in awe of him. Incredible.
I’m honestly curious how long it would take me to climb the stairs. 😅
Super human

In Bitcoin there's no tx withdraw, or key reset.
If it's important, be mindful; it it's not, who cares.
A few days ago I had the idea to illustrate this with an Alex Honnold picture...
He is incredible. Probably the most prolific solo climber alive. Hopefully he'll become an old ex-solo climber as well.
(btw my profile picture is Dean Potter)
He's over 40 too. Incredible
I couldn't climb a ladder that high in 90 minutes
My vote is for this guy. True genius
Insane ability, wow ! 🚀
I value my life too much to risk it on something like this. I respect it, but ultimately it’s very very stupid.
Turned this on last night real time. First thought was: this could have an ASL feed, second was “I gotta turn this off in case he dies,” and the third was “damn, he really did that.”

Cool. Was the elevator broken or something?
1,650 ft without ropes 😳 Is this a human or a superhero?!
Climbing around those dragons was incredible
Nah, he’s so trained for this. His whole life has been about perfecting his craft. Incredible strength and focus
He’s been doing free solo in nature on some of the most insane mountains for years. Highly recommend Free Solo documentary.
Truly astounding feat.
I've heard he donates 30% of his salary to those in need. If true his generosity is greater than his free solo accomplishments.
Alex is truly a remarkable person.
Might be politically incorrect, but even if he donated 300% of his salary, I'd still say the climb is more impressive.
Writing a check is great, but climbing Taipei 101 without ropes is just on another level.
