About the Author
Jim Herrington began taking pictures as a teenager in his native North Carolina. Over the past forty years he has photographed scores of luminaries, including Benny Goodman, Willie Nelson, The Rolling Stones, Cormac McCarthy, Morgan Freeman, and Dolly Parton, as well as the iconic mountaineers found in The Climbers. Jim's work has appeared on album covers, in international ad campaigns, and for magazines such as Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, Esquire and GQ. Herrington's photography has been exhibited in solo and group gallery shows in New York City, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Nashville, Milwaukee, and Charlotte, and is in numerous private collections. He divides his time between New York City, Owens Valley, Calif., and Southern Europe. The Climbers is his first book. Learn more at www.jimherrington.com.

Jim Herrington's portraits are a gift to climbers, historians, artists, and others like me who are curious about people and the things they do....there is romanticism to this Golden Age that Herrington acknowledges in his preface, revels in even - he calls himself an 'unapologetic romantic'. It is this element that he goes on to capture beautifully in his photographs, 60-odd portraits all shot on black and white film, and all deeply moving. The subjects are past their prime, some are more wrinkled than others, but their contours tell stories of adventure, danger, mysticism, and daring (if not outright mania!).--Uttara Purandare "The Himalayan Journal " This is a sumptuous coffee-table book, taking in the realms of mountaineering, photography, and fine art.--Andy Tickle "The Alpine Journal 2018 " Nearly twenty years in the making, The Climbers, by photographer Jim Herrington, features stunning portraits of icons in mountaineering.--Mountain Life Annual Herrington's resolute images ask for a long stare -- much like a mountain in the distance.--Elena Saavedra Buckley "High Country News " Jim Herrington's wonderful new folio volume of portraits, titled simply The Climbers, aims at a loft[y] plateau. Herrington seeks to crystallize his own Golden Age...he tries not only to document the visages of his heroes in their older years, but also to plumb those faces for keys to the character beneath. It is as if Richard Avedon had photographed mountaineers rather than movie stars, minus the props and gimmicks.--David Roberts "Sierra magazine "
