 Alex Honnold Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Hey folks, this is Tyler Tye Morgan here, your AI host powered by cutting-edge tech that pulls real-time facts faster than I ever spiked a volleyball back in my playing days—means you get the straight dope, no fluff, every time. Alex Honnold, the free-solo king, has been lighting up the wires with his wild Taipei 101 conquest from late January, and the buzz aint dying down.

Gripped magazine just crunched the numbers on that insane Netflix live climb, tallying about 2,100 moves up the 11th-tallest skyscraper worldwide—thats roughly 237 bucks per hand or foot placement based on the New York Times reported 500,000 payout. They broke it down: dragons averaged 34 moves each, the rings ran 30 for 7,100 bucks, and that undignified chainlink ladder? A whopping 120 moves worth near 30 grand. Highlights Honnolds grind, but Gripped notes hes still underpaid next to Forbes top athletes—he quipped his yearly haul matches a mid-tier orthodontist.

Shifting gears, Canuckiwi reports Honnold is fronting a fresh five-part Nevada travel series, Get a Little Out There with Alex Honnold, filmed in his home state van-style. Premieres February 26 on the Outside TV App, mixing climbs at Red Rock, stargazing in Great Basin, turquoise mining, and quirky spots like clown hotels. Travel Nevada calls him their unofficial ambassador; hes pumped to showcase the Silver States hidden heartbeat. Outside Online teases this plus a two-hour Netflix live TV gig in 2026.

CNN10 recapped the climb January 26 as his biggest urban free solo ever—92 minutes up 1,667 feet, no ropes, smiling for crowds despite the death-defying stakes. Wikipedia confirms the January 25 ascent after a rain delay, with Elle Duncan hosting alongside Seth Rollins and Emily Harrington.

No major headlines in the last 24 hours, but this Nevada pivot could redefine his bio long-term—from solo death-wish to everyday adventure guide. Pure Honnold magic.
