RRP LIVE: Alex Honnold On Climbing the Taipei 101 Skyscraper


Listen Later

Alex Honnold, the world's most accomplished free solo climber and subject of Oscar-winning Free Solo, just climbed Taipei 101 live on Netflix.

In this special live podcast event—our first with a studio audience—we go behind the spectacle to explore what really happened on that building: the unexpected challenges and the mental shift that transformed pressure into joy. We discuss his training philosophy at 40, his evolving relationship with risk and mortality as a father, and why he challenges our arbitrary definitions of what's "dangerous" vs. "normal."

Along the way, he makes us examine our own relationship with fear, discomfort, and living in alignment with our values.

Alex unites and inspires us all. This conversation illustrates why. Enjoy!
