Jimmy Chin

Jimmy Chin is an Academy Award-winning director, New York Times best-selling author and National Geographic photographer. He has been an active professional climber and skier on The North Face Athlete team for over 20 years. He has led cutting edge climbing and mountaineering expeditions around the world.

Jimmy has made difficult first ascents in some of the most remote mountain ranges on the planet - from frozen big walls in the Karakoram Range of Pakistan and Queen Maud Land in Antarctica, to the towers of the Ennedi Desert in Chad Africa. In 2006 he achieved the first successful American ski descent from the summit of Mount Everest with Kit and Rob DesLauriers. Five years later, Jimmy, Conrad Anker, and Renan Ozturk captured the coveted first ascent of the notorious Shark’s Fin, a granite wall on India’s Meru Central.

As a photographer, Jimmy's work has been featured in National Geographic Magazine, The New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, Outside Magazine and others. Jimmy has won numerous awards for his photography including National Geographic’s prestigious Photographers’ Photographer Award. His first book of photography, There and Back, became a New York Times Best Seller in 2021.
