Jimmy Chin (@jimkchin) is an artist and professional athlete,
often at the same time. If Chase Jarvis and Laird Hamilton
had a love child, it would be Jimmy. He has participated in and
documented breakthrough expeditions around the planet, from
climbing first ascents in the Karakoram to skiing first descents
in the Himalayas. He is one of the few people to both climb
Mount Everest and ski it from the summit. Most recently, he
filmed and directed the incredible feature documentary MERU,
which is in theaters now and won the 2015 Audience Award at
Sundance. What is MERU? In the high-stakes game of big-wall
climbing, the Shark’s Fin on Mount Meru is the ultimate
prize. Everest is a cakewalk by comparison. Sitting at the
headwaters of the sacred Ganges River in Northern India, the
Shark’s Fin has seen more failed attempts by elite climbing teams
over the past 30 years than any other ascent in the
Himalayas. This movie is the story of one group’s
journey to conquer it—a white-knuckle quest of friendship,
sacrifice, hope and obsession. How Jimmy captured it on film
while risking his life is almost impossible to fathom. In this
episode of the podcast, we talk about his origins, training,
nutrition, gear, and MERU, of course. Suffice to say, if you want
a benevolent kick in the ass, the film MERU is your
assignment. I saw it a few weeks ago, and all my family could say
for minutes afterward was, “Whoa….” My refrain was, “Holy shit…,”
which I muttered to myself at least 20 times in 90
minutes. It’s an amazing, terrifying, and inspiring
edge-of-your-seat experience. Show notes and links for this
episode can be found at www.fourhourworkweek.com/podcast. This
podcast is brought to you by TrunkClub. I hate shopping with a
passion. And honestly I'm not good at it, which means I end up
looking like I'm colorblind or homeless. Enter TrunkClub, which
provides you with your own personal stylist and makes it easier
than ever to shop for clothes that look great on your body. Just
go to trunkclub.com/tim and answer a few questions, and then
you'll be sent a trunk full of awesome clothes. They base this on
your sizes, preferences, etc. The trunk is then delivered free of
charge both ways, so you only pay for clothes that you keep. If
you keep none, it costs you nothing. To get started, check it out
at trunkclub.com/tim. This podcast is also brought to you by
Mizzen + Main. These are the only "dress" shirts I now travel
with -- fancy enough for important dinners but made from
athletic, sweat-wicking material. No more ironing, no more
steaming, no more hassle. Click here for the exact shirts I wear
most often. Don't forget to use the code "TIM" at checkout.
Enjoy!
