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

These
larger-than-life images, coupled with stories of outsized drive and
