There and Back. Photographs from the Edge

Filmmaker, photographer, and world-class mountaineer Jimmy Chin goes where few can follow to capture stunning images in death-defying situations. 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.
