From unclimbed alpine towers in Pakistan's Karakoram mountains, to the deserts of west Africa, Chin's passion for travel, climbing, skiing, exploration and photography have taken him on break-through expeditions around the world. Renan Ozturk discovered his passion for climbing while attending Colorado College in Colorado Springs. As a member of the small community of climbers there, he honed his skills, deepened his connection to the sport and dreamed of the remote and beautiful places it could take him. On October 2, 2011, Conrad Anker, Jimmy Chin and Renan Ozturk summited the Shark's Fin, a granite buttress on the northeast side of 6,310-meter Meru Central in the Gangotri mountains of India. Their feat was ranked first in a list of "Top 10 Ascents of 2011" in Rock and Ice and is now the subject of a documentary called House of Cards, which will premiere at Mountainfilm.
