First Trade Edition (Ten Speed Press, 2021). Signed by famed photographer Jimmy Chon on the front free-endpaper. Very scarce signed outside of the Deluxe Edition. Fine in all respects. As new. Folio. 307pp.

Jimmy Chin, famed National Geographic photographer, mountaineer, and Academy Award-winning director of Free Solo presents the first collection of his iconic adventure photography. Features the greatest moments of the most accomplished climbers and outdoor athletes in the world, including 75 never-before-seen photos. Chin goes where few can follow to capture stunning images in death-defying situations most of us can only dream of.

The book draws from his breathtaking portfolio of photographs, captured during cutting-edge climbing and outdoor expeditions on all seven continents--from a ski expedition from the summit of 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 stunning images in impossible conditions and tells the stories of the remarkable athletes he has photographed, including Alex Honnold, the star of his Oscar-winning documentary film Free Solo, ski mountaineer Kit DesLauriers, and snowboarder Travis Rice.

These larger-than-life images, coupled with stories of outsized drive and passion, of impossible goals with life or death stakes, of partnerships forged through incredible hardship, are sure to inspire wonder and awe.
