You know, I first saw Typo 101 over 10 years ago and was like, wow, that's incredible.

But at the time, didn't get the opportunity to actually climb it.

I thought about climbing it without permission, you know, don't tell anybody, you know, But

I was kind of like, oh, I know I can do it, and

But then, out of respect for the building and respect for all the people on the team who had allowed me access to look at it, I was like, well, obviously, I'm not going to poach this.

I'm going to respect the people and just see if it ever comes together.

And so then for the project to come together more than a decade later, I'm like, oh, it's so great.

It was very windy, so I was like, don't fall off the spire.

I was, like, trying to balance nicely, but I was like, what an incredible position.

And, I mean, what a beautiful way to see Taipei.
