      Alex honnold recently climbed Taipei 101 for Netflix

      “recently”, yes. Alain started climbing buildings 40 years ago.

      Apparently he climbed Taipei 101 too, 21 years ago

      On 25 December 2004, Robert scaled Taipei 101 a few days before its grand opening as the tallest building in the world. The 508-metre (1,667 ft) climb was legal, part of the week’s festivities. The skyscraper’s outwardly slanting sides posed no apparent difficulty for him, but heavy rain resulted in a climb lasting four hours—double his estimate.[
