"Shortly after he climbed the Taipei 101 skyscraper in front of millions of viewers on Netflix, Alex Honnold revealed that he mostly listened to Tool on the way up. Turns out he also was making his way up the 1,667-foot building to the sounds of Linkin Park, Nothing More, The Used, and other heavy rock tunes."
"Honnold amazingly climbed the building free solo, meaning no harnesses or safety ropes, and any fall likely would have meant his life. With that in mind, he chose a primarily progressive-metal playlist to focus on the task at hand."
"A newly shared Spotify playlist by Honnold confirms that he mostly did listen to Tool, including such tracks as "Forty Six & 2," "Invincible," "The Grudge," "Lateralus," "Schism" and others. But he also listened to multiple tunes by Linkin Park, Nothing More, and The Used, as well as single tracks by Senses Fail, Chevelle, and The Offspring. The full playlist can be streamed below."
Alex Honnold climbed the 1,667-foot Taipei 101 skyscraper free solo, ascending without harnesses or safety ropes. He primarily listened to the progressive-metal band Tool during the climb, selecting tracks such as "Forty Six & 2," "Invincible," "The Grudge," "Lateralus," and "Schism." He also played multiple songs by Linkin Park, Nothing More, and The Used, plus individual tracks by Senses Fail, Chevelle, and The Offspring. The playlist served as a focus aid during an extremely high-risk ascent where a fall likely would have been fatal. The full Spotify playlist is publicly available for streaming.
