The book is organized chronologically and frames Chin’s career by locality. There And Back begins in Charakusa, Pakistan, in 1999 and concludes in Antarctica in 2017.

Before each batch of photos, Jimmy writes a short intro into the background of the adventure, a little story, or a memory from the trip.

On a personal note, I’d like to confess that I read this today while squirreled up at home, inside on a gorgeous New Mexico bluebird day, because it was “too cold”—twenties—to spend the day climbing.

And their actual worth may be their inspiration – just turning a few pages is a not-so-subtle reminder to get out the door and seize the day. In trying to decipher what Chin has become globally – he’s a brand, and he and his wife, Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi, are creative forces – we have to remember that his perseverance and willingness to insert himself into some insane positions allowed Chin to capture the moment.

Stunning collection of photos and stories from epic expeditions. I ordered this to use as inspiration for students in my school’s applied learning program, and I want one to keep for myself! Reading it with my own kids ignited so many meaningful conversations, about life, about adventure, about people and the sense of place. 5-star photos, knocking one off for the text, which nothing special. The adventures they describe, though, are something else, and I’ve got nothing but admiration for Jimmy Chin. Watched Free Solo and sure, was in awe of Alex Honnold, but way more in awe of the person who climbed alongside and managed to capture the entire endeavor on film.
