    This man, wander for 7 years after graduated before knowing what he want to do in his life. For those who still wander, don't give up. Find your passion, keep doing what you love to do, and you'll never know you might be the next Jimmy Chin.

    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.
