John Katsilometes, the Review-Journal’s entertainment/gossip columnist, writes this morning that the Sphere climber we reported on yesterday was part of the new movie that will replace Wizard of Oz at the end of its run in December. The movie, titled From the Edge, is about extreme sports, including free diving, skiing, base jumping, and (now) Sphere-crawling. The most famous skyscraper free climber, Alex Honnold, actually lives in Las Vegas to take advantage of the year-round opportunities out at Red Rock, according to Kats. The climber hasn’t been identified, but the helicopter with the huge camera on its struts that was assumed to be the cops was filming the climb for the movie. Kats believes we’ll hear who the climber was in due time.
