Takes multi-tasking to a whole other level. Jimmy is a climber but also an artist who is planning each and every step, grab, and pull in order to fulfill his vision. Superb.
I like in MERU how he talks about his mom lamenting that her son is homeless and wanders around the world . . . I get the feeling this guy would be successful in whatever he decided to do.
Congrats to Jimmy for climbing Meru. Probably the most difficult climb in the world (aside from free solo el cap or K2 without O), not only did he climb it but he filmed most of it you can check it out on Netflix.
I can't believe this was 13 years ago, and I'm inspired by watching it today. After "Meru" and "Free Solo", Jimmy becomes one of the most famous documentary cinematographer!
As the editor of this video, I can tell you the song is called Timeless and Melodic. It's from a music production library called Teletunez. Sweet song, right?
Michele Tokar First of all, everyone has their own opinion and they are ENTITLED TO IT. Secondly, why waist your time worrying about the opinions of others ?
gosh!!! i love this stuff! awesome lifestyle! thanks to you, jimmy chin and other people like you. we get to view these beautiful views and get to "meet" the people who dare traverse these wonderful "unreachable" places--and we get to praise our Creator for it!
A little slow but with some incredible photos, ex. Running of the edge of Half Dome: "The final evolution of climbing may be flying"... Check out: 16:55
I have spent most of my 60 years on this flat motionless earth, doing all kinds of crazy risk taking activity. For the life of me I could never do this. Go with God my dear brothers.
OMG!!!! this must be true then!! youtube has put a geographic speed limit which makes all users outside of the US wait a million years before the video loads!!! UGH!!! i watch this to inspire me every week and now..!!! *sigh*
It's all about finding a passion. The only difference between Jimmy and a homeless guy is education and passion. Most people don't have passion, and that's why they fail.
I have an opportunity to go to yosemite for two weeks. my parents won't let me because of school but I know it wouldn't put me behind. at least not enough to take away from the experience
It's way more difficult and dangerous to be a photographer-climber than just a climber! Jimmy you are a hero!
Jimmy Chin is SO inspiring.
Takes multi-tasking to a whole other level. Jimmy is a climber but also an artist who is planning each and every step, grab, and pull in order to fulfill his vision. Superb.
I love listening to National Geographic photographers speak. I was watching these videos while working on my own photos today.
Pictures tells a thousand words and I really enjoy your filming. It shows how strong and dedicated climbers are.
I like in MERU how he talks about his mom lamenting that her son is homeless and wanders around the world . . . I get the feeling this guy would be successful in whatever he decided to do.
It's amazing how the best climbing photos are landscape photos at their heart.
Just super humble as usual Jimmy. Nice
A Role Model and a huge inspiration for a lot of photographers out there! I am the one among those! Keep creating, Jimmy Chin!
"It's really temporary..." I'm sure glad it wasn't! Most inspiring mountaineer!
Congrats to Jimmy for climbing Meru. Probably the most difficult climb in the world (aside from free solo el cap or K2 without O), not only did he climb it but he filmed most of it you can check it out on Netflix.
South face of Everest direct, unclimbed to date,
Congratulations Jimmy Chin! I admire the bravery you exude and your passion towards photography with that climbing stint.
just watched free solo.... a tremendous achievement on both sides of the camera.
Well said.... Stinky boy.
The Shark fin climb this guy did is truly impressive, great mountaineer.
Truth seeker There's a Documentary out on it IDK if you saw it but if now watch it it's called Meru
amazing film
Thanx man , i will:-)
One of the greatest mountaineers of all time, for sure!

:-D if I take one photo per month .... he's amazing. So ordinery and honest guy. Really cool
as honest as honest comes.. i love it
Thanks Jimmy, much appreciated. You are the best.
As the editor of this video, I can tell you the song is called Timeless and Melodic. It's from a music production library called Teletunez. Sweet song, right?
Hello, I realise some years have passed..but, do you know if the song is still available from somewhere?
Awesome time capsule of the life and times on the journey of climbing the mental and physical levels of life. Well done Jimmy Chin
Behind the scene guy. Finally we get to know about you. Inspirational. Thank you.
When I think of the American Dream I think of Jimmy Chin. Incredible
everything makes me want to quit my job. THIS makes me want to live.
thanks for the vid. Thoroughly enjoyed it
Made my day. Vicarious climbing tutorial by the amazing Jimmy Chin
Been there at this Ansel Adam Hall and most stories told at Yosemite are worth listening to, Yosemite is just heaven.
Incredible photography and intense climbing! One hell of a way to live a fulfilled life! :)
or empty.....
Raúl Manuel Cancela What do you mean by that??
Raúl Manuel Cancela he is living his life well paid by doing something he so passionate and love about, where is the emptiness?
nada !! nada !!
11:05 "Did you get it man?"
Best sentence about photography ever!
this guy is amazing
Why would 43 people not like this video? What is not to like? Jimmy Chin is awesome, Yosemite is awesome, and so is this episode of Nat Geo Live.
Michele Tokar First of all, everyone has their own opinion and they are ENTITLED TO IT. Secondly, why waist your time worrying about the opinions of others ?
Michele Tokar And yes Michele Tokar, it's an awesome video I believe with awesome people. I would love to have a job like that. What an adventure !!!
maybe cuz he's asian..
Jealousy, plain and simple.
Jimmy is a great inspiration to follow your heart and your dreams. It will give you an amazing adventure full of fulfillment and Joy.
Fantastic documentary! Jimmy presents the world of climbing FOR the sake of climbing in a way that outsiders *may* begin to understand it.
I unexpectedly met Jimmy at a taco place before he gave a speech at Yale. Super chill guy. Great tacos.
Thumbs up Jimmy!
Loved seeing him as a little kid!
To me, the best athletes in the world
I met him today 😭😭 him and his wife were so adorable

@rRunTheGun The song is called Timeless and Melodic. It was composed for National Geographic by Teletunez. Nice right?
anyone knows the beat that started on 7:55 or is it just made especially for
this particular video?
yeaa Minnesota!
A little slow but with some incredible photos, ex. Running of the edge of Half Dome: "The final evolution of climbing may be flying"... Check out: 16:55

OMG!!!! this must be true then!! youtube has put a geographic speed limit which makes all users outside of the US wait a million years before the video loads!!! UGH!!! i watch this to inspire me every week and now..!!! *sigh*
Cant find it?
It's all about finding a passion. The only difference between Jimmy and a homeless guy is education and passion. Most people don't have passion, and that's why they fail.
Nikon rocks !! nice video , u r living a real life !!
@@Jj-gi2uv its okay after several years :-)
what a life....
what is the name of the song in the minute 19:28
Only 720p Nat Geo?
Being mountaineer you should have a good condition with your health, and focus a lot since we encounter a trouble.
does anyone know what's the song starting at 7:52?
i don't know if you'll get a hit but why not try something like Sound Hound; if you find out, please share with us
Genial!
alex did the climb in 2017, free solo released in 2018, but this video is dated 2011.
liveing the dream
whats that camera that jimnmy chin uses?
Nikon D700 I think
I couldn't do this, I start shaking when I'm about to get a test result back :P
Interesting
He said "You fall hundred's *OR* thousands of feet"
I have an opportunity to go to yosemite for two weeks. my parents won't let me because of school but I know it wouldn't put me behind. at least not enough to take away from the experience
Did you do it? I got my GED and went on a walkabout halfway through
Has he ever dropped a lens?
...and he says i could live on nothing forever. Ironic isn't it ?
Balls!
