With a height of 508 meters, Taipei 101 presents an unprecedented challenge for the American climber, recognized worldwide for his free solo ascents. The structure of the building, with its terraces and stepped sections, will offer some strategic pauses, although the danger will be constant and without the possibility of error.
The broadcast will feature experts who will analyze the rise in real time.
The broadcast will include experts in climbing, sports, and science, who will provide real-time analysis of the ascent. The production will implement a brief safety delay to ensure responsible broadcasting in the event of any unforeseen circumstances.
The event has sparked great anticipation internationally, also generating debate about the limits of live spectacle. However, for Honnold, it represents a natural evolution in his career and a new way to bring extreme climbing to a global audience.
With this broadcast, Netflix is betting on an innovative format that combines sport, real tension and live narrative, bringing the experience of extreme risk to millions of viewers worldwide.
