(Photo: Reuters)TAIPEI - Poor weather on Saturday forced American climber Alex Honnold ‌to postpone his “free ​solo” rope and harness-free ascent of the outside of the Taipei 101 skyscraper, one of the world’s tallest buildings. The top of Taipei 101 was obscured by cloud on Saturday morning, with intermittent rain showers. Taipei 101 has been scaled before. Despite decades of record-setting ascents, this would be his first skyscraper climb — and the first time one of his feats would unfold live before spectators both on the ground and on a streaming platform.
