Brief review: David Lim was the leader of the first Singapore expedition to Mount Everest in 1998. He narrates what it takes to get on top of Mount Everest. It took them 4 years of practice and team work to achieve this enormous feat. It required tough decisions even if it meant leaving a friend from the final list of climbers. It required tremendous amount of discipline and patience. At one point of time they came within 100 metres of the summit only to turn back. Leaders are tough and so was David in the quest to conquer the highest peak in the world, the Mount Everest. The team finally made it to the summit on 25th May'1998. I don't have keen interest in mountaineering but I enjoyed reading this book and I hope you too will.
