Summary
Alex Honnold made history last night, free soloing one of the world’s tallest buildings in front of a live, international audience. There were moments where most of us had to look away, as Honnold climbed 101 stories and traversed seemingly impossible metal structures without ropes , nets or any type of safety equipment. Amy and T.J. talk about watching the event, the reaction online to the coverage and what Alex and his wife had to say once he made it to the top.
