Singapore, 1999. 241 pp, 90 color photos. Lim was the leader of the 1998 Everest ascent that was the first to put a Singaporean on the summit. Hardcover, Dust Jacket, New. Other than the author's signature, there is no writing in the book or other flaws, and the dust jacket has no wear and is not price clipped. The Dust Jacket and the book are Fine. The Dust Jacket is protected by a removable clear plastic cover that we call a Brodart (the maker of the book covers.)
It is the story of a small country's quest for Everest, the failures, heart-break and sacrifices behind one of Singapore's greatest sporting achievements. It is also an uplifting, inspiring and courageous story of a group of ordinary people with an extraordinary quest. You will agonize with the team as they come within 100 meters of the summit only to turn back, rejoice when they finally make it, and you will weep with David as he struggles in hospital. From climbing the world's greatest mountain ranges to his slow journey to recovery and uncertain future, Mountain to Climb is a story that will hold you in its grip like no other.
