About This Book
David Lim, author of "Mountain to Climb" -- published in 1999 -- was one of the leaders of the first Singapore team to climb Mount Everest in 1998. He was subsequently left considerably disabled after suffering from the rare neurological Guillain-Barre Syndrome. He tells how, with his zest for mountaineering unabated, he prepared for a joint Singapore-Latin America expedition to climb Everest in 2002 by climbing Argentina's Mount Aconnagua, Switzerland's Weissfrau, New Zealand's Mount Cook and other seemingly impossible heights until the 2002 attempts on Mount Everest and Mount Shishapangma in Tibet. While David did not himself reach these Summits, his tale will long serve to inspire those facing seemingly impossible odds. With photographs and glossary.
