1700 feet of steel
\nStraight up in the sky
\nA diminutive red shirted Angel
\nA super climbing guy
\nFocused clearly courageous
\nOn Netflix and Taipei
\nThe sun is out
\nThe sky is blue
\nFor all of us today<\/p>\n
A great display of mastery
\nOf conquering the heights
\nHis muscles clearly powerful
\nWith everything he fights
\nNo parachute
\nNo ropes it\u2019s all down to him
\nOne slip will see him falling like a stone
\nAll this fantastic courage
\nCompletely on his own<\/p>\n
The grit it takes
\nImagine it
\nInto The mist and sky
\nThe sinews must be aching
\nThe heart too
\nBeing high
\nSeeing the top of skyscrapers
\nAnd the audience below
\nThis is live so much suspense
\nAs all of us now know<\/p>\n
Skyscraper live we are watching
\nOnly Alex feels
\nThe pain inside his biceps
\nThe huge height it reveals
\nStrain beyond imagination
\nSee this bird man climb
\nChalky hands and yellow shoes
\nAll done in little time<\/p>\n
Clearly he is in the flow
\nLike toy cars down below
\nCrowds are craning necks below
\nWatching the live show <\/p>\n
The mountains in the background
\nBlue and silver snow
\nBreathing through climbing stress
\nWhich helps him really go
\nForward looking, measured
\nAnd pumped up on his way
\nUpwards to the very spire itself
\nUpon this day<\/p>\n
He is making it look easy
\nBut with each foot that he climbs
\nHis limbs must just be aching
\nA sign of his times
\nSo very empowering
\nAcross the window fills
\nOver the ten dragons
\nWatching gives me chills.<\/p>\n
Now he is sitting on a platform
\nCleaning off his shoes with Spittal
\nOn his trousers
\nAnd his fingers clues
\nFor this ascent
\nThe weathering Up here
\nA Greasy feel
\nAnd so he\u2019s chalking purposely
\nAnd honestly looks real<\/p>\n
His adrenaline is spiking
\nHe must be a bit tired
\nDespite his preparation
\nClearly he was Fired up
\nHis wife and family
\nWatching all the way
\nWatching Alex the human spider
\nDoing it today.
\nUp the bamboo boxes
\nOne dragon to go
\nA powerhouse I can say aloud
\nAll part of the show<\/p>\n
People inside taking photos
\nA most memorable scene
\nExcitement clearly building
\nIncredible it\u2019s been
\nSpeaking to reporters
\nAnd his wife he is tired
\nBut clearly trying to pace himself
\nAnd still being fired<\/p>\n
Up against the wind thats blowing
\nAbove a bright blue sky
\nHe needs he says to pace himself
\nOne fall and if you can\u2019t fly
\nIt\u2019s really ultra dangerous
\nJumping over the crane
\nUp the tower with its over hang
\nTo me it\u2019s just insane<\/p>\n
Writing live as it happens
\nUp the steepest part
\nDesigned to thwart the climbers
\nAlex is all heart
\nHe overcame the difficulty
\nAlmost from the start
\nThis really is the hardest part
\nIt\u2019s even hard to see
\nReally lots of over hangs
\nAnd it\u2019s affecting me
\nwriting up this ordeal
\nFeeling the pulsing beat
\nFree solo Taipei one today
\nSome tamping to do
\nBack up to more overhangs
\nThe whole climb seems untrue<\/p>\n
He has reached the 100 and first floor
\nThrough up through the rings
\nVery very tricky
\nOn the spire he brings
\nAgility into focus
\nWhat we actually see
\nIs Alex at the pinnacle
\nIn yea History <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
