“Many of us will never risk our lives to see what Jimmy Chin sees,
but in these pages, his photography will transport you to the
razor’s edge, challenging your perceptions of what humans can
achieve.”—Brie Larson
“Jimmy Chin is one of the most widely traveled and experienced
adventure photographers on Earth, and this collection is an
absolute tour de force. I read this book in a single sitting and
finished feeling inspired to take on the world.”—Alex Honnold
“Jimmy’s photography takes you on a journey to places few have ever
visited. No one else is capable of capturing such beauty while
hanging by a thread from a towering rock face or skiing down
the legendary slopes of Mount Everest. It is a pleasure to
finally have all his most iconic images in one volume. I can't wait
for you to get lost in the poetry he has unearthed at the most
extreme corners of our planet.”—Paul Nicklen
