There and Back: Photographs from the Edge

Product Information

The adventures they describe, though, are something else, and I've got nothing but admiration for Jimmy Chin. Getting published in National Geographic helped Chin’s parents understand and see the value of their son’s non-traditional path.

Many of us will never risk our lives to see what Jimmy Chin sees, but in these pages, his photography will transport you to the razor’s edge, challenging your perceptions of what humans can achieve. Everything you did, all the communication and coordination you shared with us, led to an event that will no doubt be remembered by attendees for the rest of their lives. Being introduced to Jimmy Chin through his filmmaking was powerful enough… but this collection of photos showcases Chin’s ability to do what we all wish we could.Chin has been featured in publications like National Geographic, Vanity Fair, and Outside magazine among others. Watch the trailer for Free Solo, a stunning, intimate, and vertigo-inducing film about rock climber Alex Honnold's journey to climbing the world’s most famous rock wall—El Capitan in Yosemite National Park—without a rope or safety gear. It’s our good fortune too that Chin, long ago, borrowed a camera and began his photographic journey. can be booked for (private) corporate events, personal appearances, keynote speeches, or other performances. Chin is a well-known American professional mountain athlete, photographer, film director, and author.

I heard a tiny “crack” in the distance followed by slight rumbling, which grew in intensity until the earth shook. As a big fan, I am very familiar with Jimmy Chin’s work and accomplishments, and yet, I am in awe every time I read about them. We are happy to assist you with your interest in booking a speaker or celebrity for your event, your organization, and the type of talent you would like to secure, and an agent will be in touch shortly.Now, decades later, my two most coveted possessions are a signed Bradford Washburn photograph and a framed mid-1930s series of panoramic landscape images. I’ve had a lot of people help me along the way … but I also believe that you don’t find your mentors, they find you.

It's all part of a life Chin could have never envisioned for himself as a kid growing up in Mankato, Minnesota.
