00:00American climber Alex Hinault's plans to climb Taipei 101 were foiled by the weather on Saturday,
00:06disappointing the hundreds of fans who woke up bright and early to come here and check out the spectacle.
00:11Quite disappointed they can't see him today, but of course his safety is number one.
00:16Don't want anything to happen, so it has to be pushed till tomorrow.
00:19So be it, we'll show up tomorrow and see him perform again.
00:30I believe it's not very dangerous, but I always think it's not very good.
00:40So tomorrow is even better.
00:42Honnold's plan is to stream his free solo ascent of the half-kilometer tower live on Netflix,
00:48meaning he will climb it without ropes or protective equipment.
00:52Given the very real risk of death if he makes a mistake,
00:54members of the production team told Taiwan Plus on Thursday that the attempt could be delayed
01:00if rain makes the building's glass and steel facade too slippery to ascend safely.
01:05I'm here just to see someone embody the human spirit, definitely limitless.
01:11I feel like he shows that if we could put our mind to it, we could definitely achieve something great.
01:17And I mean, yes, postponed, but I'm just glad it's safer to do it another time,
01:23rather not see another, you know, a tragic end.
01:28Really big event for Taiwan as well, like one of the most famous persons in climbing history is climbing Taipei 101.
01:34明天會再來,明天會再來.
01:36因為我自己平常就有在攀岩,然後也看過他的紀錄片.
01:40所以想說第一次有機會看到本人爬這種東西,還是會想要看.
01:44Now Netflix has already rescheduled to climb for Sunday,
01:48and you can be sure that at least some of these people will be here bright and early
01:52to watch Alex Hanole try and make history.
01:55Klein Wang, Sandy Chi, and Brynn Thomas, in Taipei, for Taiwan Plus.
