Climbing And Ski Mountaineering Photography By Jimmy Chin

In October 2006, Jimmy achieved the first successful American ski descent of Mount Everest with Kit and Rob DesLauriers. They skied from the summit and are the only people to have skied the South Pillar route.
In May 2007, he joined the Altitude Everest Expedition as a climber and expedition photographer in an attempt to retrace George Mallory and Sandy Irvine's fateful last journey up the North face of Everest.
Outside of major Himalayan expeditions, Jimmy has participated in numerous exploratory climbing and skiing expeditions to Baffin Island, Borneo, Mali, Chad, Pitcairn Island and other remote regions of the planet.
Jimmy's 2011 first ascent of Shark's Fin with Conrad Anker and Renan Ozturk in the Garwhal Himalayas was nominated for a Piolet D'Or award, awarded the Golden Piton by Climbing Magazine for Best Big Wall Climb of the Year and voted the #1 ascent of the year by Rock and Ice Magazine.
