An American climber has postponed scaling the Taipei 101, one of the world's tallest buildings, rope-free for another 24 hours due to wet weather.
Alex Honnold, who scaled El Capitan in California's Yosemite National Park without a rope in 2017, said on Saturday: "Sadly it's raining in Taipei right now so I don't get to go climbing."
The skyscraper in Taiwan's capital measures 508m (1,667ft) and is made of steel, glass and concrete. It contains eight sections, each with a slight overhang designed to resemble joints on a bamboo stick.
Netflix - which will stream the event - says there will be a delay on the live feed should the worst happen.
"It's obviously a conversation that everybody has," Netflix executive Jeff Gaspin told Variety magazine. "We'll cut away. We have a 10-second delay. Nobody expects or wants to see anything like that to happen."
