Jimmy Chin is a photographer of extreme mountain sports, an Academy Award-winning filmmaker, and one of the world's greatest climbers. He's a real superhero with his unprecedented feats from skiing down Mount Everest to conquering Himalaya's Meru rock face, Shark's Fin. [Photo] See the '10 Amazing Views' that only a few adventurers can actually see. But surprisingly, climbing one of the world's tallest granite walls is the biggest risk of your life. I don't think so. Bigger than that were the life choices I made in my early twenties. "I moved to Yosemite [National Park] and lived in my car because of my dream," Chin told Newsweek when he decided to follow his mountaineering dream. “Climbing is something I’ve always wanted to do, and you might think I had no hesitation in making the decision. The decision to live six years in the city definitely paid off. Chin is now one of the best climbers in the world. He also managed to document and photograph some of the greatest physical victories in human history. Chin's life is one of great stakes and the pinnacle of human potential, a feat not unique to him. Alex Honnold's 2019 Oscar-winning Free Solo, where Chin hangs with his camera on the edge of the world's most famous rock wall, El Capitan, climbs without any ropes or safety equipment. Documentary filmed. It was the second film he co-directed with his filmmaking partner and wife, Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi (the first was 2015's MERU, when the two fell in love). Their latest work is a documentary about the rescue of a Thai boy soccer team trapped in a cave in 2018, "The Rescue" (released in Japan on February 11). He's already been rumored to be an Academy Award contender. Chin goes where few people can follow him, but his new book, There and Back, a collection of more than 20 years of life-threatening adventures on seven continents, honors that world. You can take a peek from your seat. From the ice caps of Antarctica to the world's tallest sandstone towers in the southern Sahara, just looking at these stunning photos will make your heart beat a little faster.
