PRODUCT INFORMATION

Description

The Academy Award-winning director of Free Solo and National Geographic photographer presents the first collection of his iconic adventure photography, featuring some of the greatest moments of the most accomplished climbers and outdoor athletes in the world, and including 75 never-before-seen photos. Filmmaker, photographer, and world-class mountaineer Jimmy Chin goes where few can follow to capture stunning images in death-defying situations few others can experience. There and Back draws from his breathtaking portfolio of photographs, captured during cutting-edge climbing and outdoor expeditions on all seven continents--from a ski expedition from the summit of Mount Everest, to an unsupported traverse of Tibet's Chang Tang Plateau on foot, to first ascents in Chad's Ennedi Desert and Antarctica's Queen Maud Land. Along the way, Chin shares behind-the-scenes details about how he captured such stunning images in impossible conditions, and tells the stories of the remarkable athletes he has photographed, including Alex Honnold, the star of his Oscar-winning documentary film Free Solo , ski mountaineer Kit DesLauriers, and snowboarder Travis Rice. These larger-than-life images, coupled with stories of outsized drive and passion, of impossible goals with life or death stakes, of partnerships forged through incredible hardship, are sure to inspire wonder and awe.

Critic Reviews

­­­­­­­“In There and Back, Jimmy Chin tells the story of his remarkable life through a selection of breathtaking photos accompanied by passages of insightful text. The end result is an extraordinary work of art.”—Jon Krakauer

“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.”—Brie Larson

“Jimmy Chin is one of the most widely traveled and experienced adventure photographers on Earth, and this collection is an absolute tour de force. I read this book in a single sitting and finished feeling inspired to take on the world.”—Alex Honnold

“Jimmy’s photography takes you on a journey to places few have ever visited. No one else is capable of capturing such beauty while hanging by a thread from a towering rock face or skiing down the legendary slopes of Mount Everest. It is a pleasure to finally have all his most iconic images in one volume. I can't wait for you to get lost in the poetry he has unearthed at the most extreme corners of our planet.”—Paul Nicklen
