Alex Honnold became a household name through the Oscar-winning Free Solo, chronicling his journey to climb Yosemite’s El Capitan. Life has changed in the years since Free Solo. Honnold is now a husband, father of two, author, and advocate, balancing family life with the same pension for adventure and challenging feats.
His latest achievement was a rope-free climb of Taipei 101. Netflix’s Skyscraper Live captured Honnald’s high-stakes assertion of Taiwan’s 1,667 ft tall skyscraper—a TV event that brought excitement, criticism, controversy, and plenty of attention.
In conversation with Awards Buzz’s Shadan Larki, Honnold discusses Skyscraper Live, how fatherhood has shaped his perspective, and what continues to motivate him to pursue extraordinary challenges.
Skyscraper Live is available to watch on Netflix.
