Das ist Sanni, Alex Honnolds Frau und die schaut sich an, wie ihr Mann den #Taipei101 hochklettert. Das hat er uebrigens in 91 Minuten geschafft. Ueber 550m und das ohne Seil und doppelten Boden.

Moin #Fediverse und euch einen gesunden Start in diesen Sonntag. Ich war zwar vor Ort, aber ich kann mir sowas mit meiner Hoehenangst echt nicht anschauen.

Zum Glueck ist der Stunt gut ausgegangen 🙏

In 2016 they took an MRI of this man's brain ( #AlexHonnold)

His #amygdala, our brains' fear center, remained inert as he was exposed to disturbing images (ours would light up)

He's basically the anti-MAGA (MAGA people are programmed via Fox News and insane social media content by goosing their overactive fear response)

He just free soloed (no ropes) #Taipei101, the 11th tallest building in the world in a little over an hour and a half

He convinced his mom to take up climbing at the age of 60
