There are few things more casual than professional climber Alex Honnold calmly describing his latest life-or-death escapades in interviews, and the footage above with Jimmy Kimmel is no exception.
Following his live Netflix free solo ascent of Taipei 101, the 11th tallest structure in the world, Honnold sits down on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to describe the experience, including the reason why the climber hung by his legs no-handed near the top of the building.
“Style points. You have to play around just a little bit,” says Honnold. “I mean that was near the top of the building, so I’d already done most of the really hard stuff, and you’re kind of having a good time, you’re enjoying the view. It’s like, you’ve got to play around a little bit.”
Kimmel’s reaction says it all.
