Mountain To Climb: The Quest For Everest And Beyond

MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB is a book by David Lim, leader of Singapore's first Mt Everest Expedition in 1998. It is Singapore's top-selling adventure epic, now back in print after a sold-out first run. From 1994, David Lim planned and led a series of mountaineering expeditions in preparation for the eventual Mt Everest climb in 1998, which succeeded after a series of setbacks and mishaps. One week after the team`s triumphant return, he was stricken with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a rare nerve disorder. He endured a six-week stay in intensive care and six months of recovery, including rehabilitation, in a first-person narrative of Singapore's quest for Everest, the failures, heartbreak, sacrifices, and team dynamics involved.
