There and Back
Photographs from the Edge
Two decades of Jimmy Chin's photographs from Everest to Yosemite's big walls, shot mid-climb, with the harrowing stories behind each image.
This large-format collection gathers two decades of Jimmy Chin’s photography from the world’s most extreme places, Everest, Antarctica, the big walls of Yosemite, and remote first ascents, most of it shot while he was climbing or skiing the same routes. Alongside the images he tells the stories behind them: the expeditions, the danger, the friendships, and the discipline of making art in places where a mistake is fatal. It is both an adventure memoir and a photographer’s portfolio.
