Chris Noble

Recognized as one of the world’s leading adventure writers and photographers, Chris Noble’s work celebrates the beauty of nature and inspires people to live healthier, more mindful, and more sustainable lives. According to American Photo magazine, “the secret of Noble’s success is that there’s no dividing line between adventure and his photography.” A veteran of expeditions ranging from Denali to Everest to the jungles of Borneo, Noble’s work has appeared in hundreds of publications including Life, National Geographic, Newsweek, Orion, Outside, Rolling Stone, and Sports Illustrated, as well as books and anthologies. His humanitarian work includes portraits of Rwandan genocide survivors for Lily Yeh’s Barefoot Artist Organization and environmental imagery in Africa, Canada, and Southern Utah for Round River Conservation. Noble’s book “Women Who Dare” celebrates the athleticism, wisdom, and grace of twenty of North America’s most inspiring women climbers, and was listed as one of the "25 Books Every Climber Should Read" by MOJA Gear, a climbing website. His latest book "Why We Climb" tackles the oldest question in mountaineering, asking the world's best climbers why they have devoted their lives to such a risky and demanding pursuit.
