According to The Independent, the whole Skyscraper Live event got postponed Friday January 23 from wet weather just minutes before airtime fans were hyped but rain slammed the brakes. Netflix pushed it to Saturday January 24 at 8pm ET, though producers from Plimsoll told Variety theyll delay further if needed till Alex and the safety team give the green light. No major headlines in the last 24 hours but light rain lingers in Taipei per weather reports, and Honnold tested the greasy facade days earlier in a downpour slipping in a raincoat as Netflix clipped.

    The California native whos scaled El Cap ropeless told the New York Times the buildings coated in New Years fireworks grease feeling way worse than his September practice and those bamboo-boxer overhangs will grind him floor by floor. Hes been chilling in Taipei with wife Sanni McCandless posting hike snaps gym hangs and matching outfits while prepping his mind for what he calls the biggest urban free solo ever. LA Times notes backlash including an SNL skit mocking his No Big Deal vibe and climber Dan Goodwin warning its a suicide mission for anyone but elites.

    Critics slam Netflix for airing potential tragedy but Honnold told CNN balconies could catch falls making it safer than some rocks. This could etch his bio forever blending his Oscar-winning legacy with urban legend status like Alain Robert who roped it in 2004.
