Climber Alex Honnold Takes a Rain Check on Taipei 101 Challenge

Alex Honnold, a well-known rock climber, had to postpone his daring climb up the Taipei 101 skyscraper. The reason? Bad weather. He was supposed to climb this super tall building without any ropes on Saturday. But it was raining in Taipei, so the organizers decided to wait until Sunday. They said safety comes first. This climb was going to be shown live on Netflix. People in the U. S. were supposed to watch it on Friday evening. But because of the rain, the climb was pushed to Sunday morning in Taiwan. The good news is that the weather should be better then.Organizers knew there might be some light rain. They were ready to delay the climb if the weather wasn't safe. Now, the live broadcast in the U. S. will happen on Saturday evening at 5 p. m. Pacific time or 8 p. m. Eastern time. Climbing a skyscraper without ropes is super risky. It's called free solo climbing. Honnold is famous for this kind of climbing. He has done some really amazing climbs before. But even for him, the weather can be a big problem. This delay shows how important safety is in extreme sports. Even the best climbers need to be careful. The organizers made the right call by waiting for better weather. It's always better to be safe than sorry.
