SNEWS® Live -- Climber and photographer Jimmy Chin has ascended to great heights in the world of adventure photography. Advancing a career that began with one random snapshot, Chin is now at the top of a very short list of mountaineers who have blended art and athletism to share breathtaking images of 8,000-meter summits. Just a few weeks before leaving for Nepal, Chin took a few moments to chat with SNEWS® Live reporter James Mills during Outdoor Retailer Summer Market in Salt Lake City, Utah.
