Alex Honnold, a famous American climber, did something amazing. He climbed a very tall building in Taiwan without any ropes or safety gear. The building is called Taipei 101 and has 101 floors.
Honnold took only 1 hour and 31 minutes to reach the top. This was much faster than anyone else who tried before. When he finished, he said just one word: 'Sick.' This means he thought it was really cool.
Many people watched Honnold climb on TV. His wife was waiting for him at the top of the building. She was worried about the wind and heat during his climb. Honnold has done many difficult climbs before, including a famous one in California.
