About David Lim

David Lim is best know in Singapore for leading the 1 st Singapore Mt Everest Expedition in 1998 which succeeded in lacing two members on the summit. The climb captured the imagination of the entire country and helped reset the parameters of what could be achieved by the small, flat, tropical nation.

A week after his return from Everest he was totally paralysed by the rare nerve disorder Guillain-Barre Syndrome. Artificially ventilated for 42 days he spent six months in hospital before returning home.

Though he was permanently disabled in both legs, he made a dramatic comeback in climbing the world’s great mountains, and returned once more to Everest in 2001. Since 1998 David has led 15 expeditions including the first all Singaporean ascent of Argentina’s Aconcagua (6962 Metres).

David is the author of three books.
