"The stunt was part of an upcoming Sphere experience called 'From the Edge.' The project features Honnold and other world-class athletes: free diver Alenka Artnik, skier Markus Eder, BASE jumper Katie Hansen Lajeunesse and surfer Kai Lenny."
"The five 'From the Edge' athletes will be 'captured on location by Big Sky, Sphere Entertainment's proprietary camera system developed to capture images at the scale and fidelity necessary for Sphere's display.'"
"Considering that Honnold is the only climber in the project, it seems reasonable to conclude that he was the one who summited Sphere on Tuesday."
On April 14, a climber ascended the 366-foot Sphere in Las Vegas, filmed by a helicopter. This stunt was part of the upcoming experience 'From the Edge.' While the climber's identity remains unverified, it is suggested to be Alex Honnold. The project includes world-class athletes and is directed by E. Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin. Filming is taking place in various locations, and Honnold's involvement aligns with his previous rope-free climbs, including a recent ascent of Taipei 101.
