Honored and stoked. Nice to get a nod from the ASME.
If you want to see the photo gallery from the shoot, you can check it out here.
Here is the opening spread to Alpinist Magazine‘s feature story about our first ascent of the Shark’s Fin. We’ve been working with Michael Kennedy and the staff at Alpinist on this story for several months. Cool to get an intimate perspective of the climb through Conrad Anker’s eyes. There are a few things about his history with the mountain I didn’t even know about. It’s always great to share a story with our peers through Alpinist Magazine. No fanfare, no bullshit. This was probably the hardest climb and shoot of my career to date. Hope you can get a copy and enjoy it.
Men’s Journal features an 8 page article in their May Adventure issue about Jimmy Chin, Renan Ozturk and Conrad Anker’s first ascent of the Shark’s Fin in northern India.

Jimmy lands another Climbing Magazine cover shot! Ivo Ninov leading out on the Pacific Ocean Wall, El Capitan, Yosemite National Park.
The Sharkâs Fin of Meru (6,310 meters) was one of the most sought-after objectives in high-altitude alpinism, not just for the singular beauty and shape of the peak, but because it continued to thwart talented team after talented team. The proper line directly up the steep rock rib finally fell this October to Conrad Anker, Renan Ozturk and Jimmy Chin, who took 12 days to reach the summit. Read the article.
Jimmy’s photograph of the Towers of Ennedi appears on the September issue of Climbing magazine.
Matador Sports, an online magazine with over 1,000,000 unique visitors a month, interviews Jimmy Chin about his recent article in National Geographic.
In April of 2010, Jimmy Chin spent three weeks shooting with North Face athletes Daniel Woods, Yuji Hirayama, Sam Elias and Emily Harrington climbing outside of Antalya, Turkey. The colorful limestone crags of Geyikbayiri made the perfect location to capture Emily Harrington doing what she does best…..sending burly, technical and overhanging sport routes. Two of Jimmy’s images of Emily are currently highlighted in the Spring 2011 The North Face national ad campaign.
The North Face showcases Jimmy Chin’s photography from the Chad Expedition that he shot in December of 2010 on their homepage during May. The video that he produced with friends Tim Kemple and Renan Ozturk collectively known as Camp 4 Collective is also highlighted on their site.
