Professional mountain climber Jimmy Chin pushes boundaries in "Edge of the Unknown"
CBSN
Jimmy Chin is usually more comfortable thousands of feet up a rock face or hanging off the end of a rope with a camera in his hand. But when the professional mountain climber talks with CBS News one bright, late summer morning at California's Surf Ranch, his mind is on other things — like the six-foot barrel rolling out for 700 perfect yards across the wave pool.
"It's like a perfect wave, and there's like a really great opportunity of a progression here," he tells CBS Mornings' Lilia Luciano at the man-made wave basin, the brainchild of legendary surfer Kelly Slater.
The wave pool is a marked departure from the mountains and cliff faces that have made Chin one of the most recognizable faces of adventure sports – thanks to his 2019 Oscar-winning documentary "Free Solo," which chronicles climber Alex Honnold's quest to conquer Yosemite's El Capitan without ropes or other climbing aids.
Alec Baldwin had "no control" over his emotions on the set of a film where the cinematographer was shot dead, according to the prosecutor who has charged him with manslaughter. The Hollywood star was holding a Colt .45 during the preparation for a scene in the budget Western "Rust" when the gun went off, killing Halyna Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza.
Rising from the shadows to the spotlight, Jason Bradley DeFord, known as Jelly Roll, finds himself in awe of his meteoric rise within the country music industry. Once a name few knew, Jelly Roll has now etched his mark in the country music scene by securing Grammy nominations, bagging multiple People's Choice Awards, and earning three wins Sunday at the CMT Awards, including Video of the Year.
