Jimmy Chin

"Whether climbing and photographing on Mount Everest's treacherous North Face, following endangered antelope across a grueling Tibetan plateau, or achieving first ascents of giant granite towers in Pakistan's Karakoram Mountains, Jimmy Chin is all about going to extremes. His passion for exploration and photography takes him around the world on breakthrough expeditions. Using his unique blend of physical and technical skills, Jimmy and his camera find their way into the places, conditions, and moments few others can capture."

"Jimmy is at the top of the short list for The North Face. From the big walls of Pakistan to the crest of the Sierras, Jimmy is the photographer for the job. Jimmy is that rare combination of a world class climber and a world class photographer. He consistently delivers what we are looking for: creative, dynamic and impactful photography that tells the story of NorthFace athletes on difficult expeditions. Indeed, he is a pleasure to work with."
