3-Minute Video Break: Climber Chris Sharma on the World’s Weirdest Rock Formations

Geology regularly blows us away—just check out the crazy rock formations Chris Sharma ascends in this video. Addicted to bouldering, deep-water soloing, and sport climbing, the Santa Cruz native spends 11 months a year in exotic locales, dangling off incredible hunks of rock sculpted by centuries of erosion. "Climbing is about finding beautiful things in nature interacting with them," notes Sharma. Nice work, if you can get it. (Yes, this is longer than three minutes, but we were pretty sure you wouldn't mind.)—Mary Anne Potts
