I can’t wait for Alex to retire so we can finally know his crazy life story doesn’t have a tragic ending.

I met him on top of Half Dome in 2022 - I hike and he climbed. Couldn’t have been more friendly, welcoming, and gracious when I introduced myself to him. Total stud and class act, and lifetime memory for me as a long time fanboy of his. Love that guy!

For what he does, he's ironically one of the most grounded people I've heard. Pun intended.

He gave a keynote in one of my ex jobs, and I watched Free Solo, and now he’s live climbing the tallest building in my home country on my birthday. Wish him best luck!

I was in Taipei 101 a couple months ago on the 89th floor. It’s a great city I hope he and his family got to see Taipei before his stunt. The night markets, temples, the palace museum, culture and cuisine
