A dream realized…

On October 15, 2025, @jimwmorrison completed the first ski descent of the Hornbein Couloir via the Super Direct route on Everest’s north face.

Reinhold Messner called this line “the most beautiful route on Everest”an elegant plumb line connecting the Japanese and Hornbein Couloirs, starting at 20,000 feet and climbing 9000ft to the summit. A climb and ski line that has captured imaginations for decades. A line that has never let anyone descend it.

My journey with this route began in 2003 with @stephen_koch. After two months contemplating those 9,000 vertical feet, we turned back at 7,000m. Attempting the north face of Everest changed me and left a deep impression. After years of consideration, I decided a decade ago that it wasn’t going to happen for me in this lifetime. When Jim and Hilaree approached me in 2020, ready to attempt what I’d thought impossible, I felt both dread and inevitability.

What Jim accomplished that day defies words. The stakes couldn’t have been higher - zero margin for error in the infinite calculus of decisions and each perfect turn after another. But this was never a solo effort—it was a masterclass in leadership and teamwork. Jim’s vision, resilience, and fortitude inspired everyone to rise to the challenge. 

12 of us summited on the last day of our permit via a route that hadn’t been climbed in 30 years. Several previous attempts to climb, ski or snowboard the line ended in tragedy. I am grateful we all came home.

@estebantopomena and @robrtomorales fixed lines to the summit with relentless endurance and through brutal conditions. @carla.perez.ec carried the team’s spirit. Our Sherpa team’s dedication was profound. Selflessness, absolute trust, and unwavering belief, when all seemed lost, defined the ethos of the entire team.

To the production team: years of commitment to an impossible dream, thank you.

Jim, you are a true gem of a human being. Witnessing you achieve this seemingly impossible goal fills me with gratitude beyond expression. After six years and three expeditions, today, I can finally breathe easy.

We hope we did you proud Hilaree.

One year ago today, @jimwmorrison skied the Hornbein Couloir on the north side of Everest — 9,000 feet of no-fall zone. October 15 will always be a special day for me. The kind of day you dream of in the mountains — a tier one team of friends, everyone showing up and doing what they were there to do, no fuss, just execution. And of course the beauty and the shared hardship.

A year has marched by and my memories of the day have already dulled. I went back through the photos to sharpen them again. I’ve long considered the direct north face the ultimate ski line on the ultimate mountain. Watching a friend dream, commit, persevere through it all, and then ski it with confidence was impressive and satisfying.

Many of these pictures are of the team from the seven years and three expeditions it took to pull it off. The Sherpa team, the climbing team, the production team. The odds of failing were always better than the odds of succeeding, and they showed up anyway. You can’t ask more of a team. Grateful for all of these extraordinary human beings. And Jim, your one of one. Thank you for the years of friendship. 

Everest: The Other Side is in theaters and IMAX October 30.

On October 15, 2025, @jimwmorrison completed the first ski descent of Mount Everest’s Hornbein Couloir—solving what elite ski mountaineers worldwide called "the last great problem."

Skiing down this 9,000-foot vertical line from Everest's summit at 29,032 feet, combined with the successful summit ascent, represents the most significant achievement in ski mountaineering history. The feat required five years of logistical planning, three expedition attempts, and a lifetime of preparation.

Academy Award-winning ‘Free Solo’ directors @chaivasarhelyi and @jimmychin captured Morrison’s grueling physical and emotional journey for the upcoming @natgeodocs film “Everest North” (working title).

Jimmy Chin takes iPhone 18 Pro to new heights to depict the spiritual connection between climber and pure verticality.

See the work as part of our global photography exhibition “What Holds Us,” exploring the search for human connection within a heavily distracted contemporary world. Through moments of touch, gaze, care, ritual, solitude, and shared experience, the artists explore presence and the ways we relate, belong, and find meaning. In New York City September 18-20.

My parents used to say, “Of course we’re worried. There’s no word in Chinese for what you do.” As the kid of Chinese immigrants, I was told there were only three careers: doctor, lawyer, or professor. Climbing bum was not on that list. When I finished college, I was sure these traditional expectations didn’t fit me, and I decided to make up my own way through the world. I would spend my twenties drifting between climbing destinations and living out of a stubborn 1989 Subaru Loyale.

It was not the graduate program my mom and dad had hoped for me. Thankfully, my parents also instilled in me the work ethic and confidence to strive for a life I didn’t even know I wanted — the life I discovered on sweeping granite walls, desert towers, and knife-edge ridges.

Along the way, I found a second family in the adventurers who seek out the world’s wildest places and devote their lives to accomplishing what others have never dared. The members of this tribe became my most cherished friends, partners, and mentors. Every person I’ve climbed with has helped shape me into who I am today.

Nine years ago yesterday, @alexhonnold made history

Here, a scene from @freesolofilm: Hundreds of meters off the deck, Alex tackles the Boulder Problem, the crux of Freedrider (5.13a). @m_synnott and @mikeylikesrocks look on with bated breath. To become the first person to free solo El Capitan, Alex had to rely on microscopic holds, barely-there friction — and a lifetime of preparation.
