Against Giants: The Life and Climbs of a Disabled Mountaineer

David Lim is an amazing mountaineer. Following his successful leadership of the first Singapore Mt. Everest expedition in 1998, David came down with debilitating Guillain-Barre Syndrome. This book, his second, details his coming to grips with his illness and return to climbing. Since 1998 he has successfully climbed Aconcagua (2000), Ararat (2001), led the Singapore-Latin American Everest Expedition (2001), and attempted both Shishapangma and Cho Oyu (2002). A nicely presented book.
