MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB:
THE QUEST FOR EVEREST AND BEYOND ( 2nd, edition )
MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB is a book by David Lim, leader of Singapore`s 1st Mt Everest Expedition in 1998.It is Singapore's top-selling adventure epic, now back in print after a sold-out first run. This revised edition contains:
-two new maps
-20 additional photos
-a new chapter on the team eight years after the landmark climb
-a reprint of the Readers Digest magazine cover ( Aug 2001 ) story on David Lim's comeback climb in 2000
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 nail-biting series of setbacks and mishaps.
One week after the team`s triumphant return, he was stricken with the rare and mysterious nerve disorder, Guillain-Barre Syndrome. Within days, he was near death as the disorder paralysed virtually all his limbs and shut down his respiratory system. Speechless, unable to swallow or move and racked with virulent forms of pneumonia, he endured a "hellish" six weeks in an intensive care unit before stabilising.
He spent six months recovering in hospital, including a rehabilitation process in which the re-learning of simple tasks such as writing, dressing and walking were enormous challenges compared to the Everest climb.
MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB is a first-person narrative of the story behind Singapore`s quest for Everest; the failures, heartbreak and sacrifices behind one of Singapore`s greatest sporting achievements. It is a study of, not only an Everest expedition, but also about how a team is formed, and goes from infancy to adulthood.
MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB: 230 pages, 100 photos, 32 colour plates. ISBN:981-05-2742X

AGAINST GIANTS, is the 2nd book by mountaineer and author David Lim, and is the sequel to MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB
In AGAINST GIANTS, David recounts living a life changed after being paralysed, and then discharged from a 6-month stay in a hospital. Grappling with his new disabilities, he plans a return to his former life of mountaineering, as well as a new dream to inspire and give hope to others. The story is told with flashbacks covering a time-span of 10 years.
AGAINST GIANTS covers enthralling stories and anecdotes, including moments when David and just one other climber faced climbing the biggest peak in South and North America on their own; proposing to his fiancee from the summit of a 6000m peak and facing hellish winds on the north ridge of Everest whilst climbing high without the aid of bottle oxygen. The underlying universal themes of AGAINST GIANTS include the great need for self-leadership at all times, focus in goal-getting and the importance of cultivating a strong ethical foundation in all our work.
AGAINST GIANTS is a major title from publishers Epigram, and is now available in softcover in Singapore.75 pictures and 3 maps; 16 colour plates. 981-04-9731-8. ISBN number:981-04-1416-1
