Alex Honnold, a famous rock climber, was seen in videos scaling the Sphere in Las Vegas, with observers identifying the climb as a filmed stunt.
Social posts including a Vital Vegas tweet and eyewitness footage shared with The Washington Post show Honnold reaching the top while a helicopter with a large camera filmed the action.
Online speculation and a Reddit thread linked the climb to the movie From the Edge, and Sphere Entertainment said in a release that its proprietary camera system captures images for the Sphere's massive display, though no official confirmation of the climb's purpose has been released.
Honnold is known for high-profile urban and free climbs, and observers noted the Sphere's 366-foot curved exterior and windy Las Vegas conditions make such ascents technically demanding.
