Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 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 more than 200 extraordinary photographs. “An extraordinary work of art.”—Jon Krakauer 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 over twenty years during cutting-edge expeditions on all seven continents—from skiing 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 astounding images in impossible conditions, and tells the stories of the legendary adventurers and remarkable athletes he has photographed, including Alex Honnold, the star of his Academy Award–winning documentary film Free Solo; ski mountaineer Kit DesLauriers; snowboarder Travis Rice; and mountaineers Conrad Anker and Yvon Chouinard. 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.

  • beautiful images, very inspiring words
These images are transporting, really. Slow down, re-locate yourself.

  • Absolutely Stunning!
A stunning, beautiful, and truly inspiring book. Jimmy's images are breathtaking, and the backstory behind the adventures lights the fire for adventures of your own. If you're a climber, adventurer, or photographer this captivating book is a must have for your collection.

  • Stunning and Inspirational
"There and Back: Photographs from the Edge" exceeded my expectations in every way. I am a recreational climber, and have been aware of Jimmy Chin's athletic and photographic talents for some time. That being said, I still underestimated this book. I ordered it thinking it would be an excellent coffee table book, to casually flip through some fantastic scenic shots on occasion. Don't get me wrong, it is that, but it's so much more. The book has stories with a story, with the overarching tale being that of Jimmy's professional career. Following your heart can take you to unthought of places, and it's always inspirational to see someone turn their passion into their paycheck. The individual expeditions reveal more about his character, his growth, and the vast corners of the planet that are the subjects of his art. I bought this as a picture book, but I soon found myself reading all of the text, absorbing the stories behind the pictures, and shaking my head in wonder at the efforts to produce them. I would say it was Herculean, but Hercules' feats pale in comparison. Let's see him clean stables at 4,000 feet and -50 below! I highly recommend this for anyone, climber or not. Even if you're just looking for a picture book with cool scenery, it's a perfect choice, especially because it brings so much more to the [coffee] table. ... show more

Bought this photo book solely because it's Jimmy Chen. Not disappointed and well-worth the money.

Jimmy is awesome, he does everything, he does it really well, and his peers like him. This volume contains great stories, but even more, stupendous photography, maybe the best photo spread by a mountaineer since Galen Rowell. Highly recommended.
