“When we first started telling people that we wanted to climb Mount Everest, the most common question we got was, ‘Wow that’s great! But surely you mean to Everest Base Camp?’”

The Singapore Women’s Everest Team presents a unique and inspiring success story about a team of six young women who started off as strangers, united by a common love for the mountains, coming together in a five-year journey that defied all doubts and culminated with two spectacular days on the summit of Mount Everest.

More Than A Mountain brings to life the team’s journey through personal stories, anecdotes and humbling experiences – told through a series of captivating photographs, illustrations and never-been-told before accounts of what truly went on in the Everest expedition. Through personal journal entries and behind-the-scene stories, the book also provides a first-person’s insight into the massive planning and preparation necessary for the mammoth task of climbing Mount Everest.
