There have been a lot of videos made about climbing the Nose on El Cap in a day, most notably Tommy Caldwell in Dosage IV and the insane speed record of Hans Florine and Yuji Hirayama shown in the latest Masters Of Stone movie.

Back in 2003, a strange thing happened in Joshua Tree National Park in Southern California. A massive rainstorm came through that caused a boulder to fall over from its perch between two other walls.
