Description

How many times times can a man cheat death? Surviving a rare, potentially fatal nerve disorder. Near cremation by invisible, high-intensity flames. Inches away from house-sized boulders screaming down from above. Negotiating hungry, man-eating crevasses on glaciers. Imagine facing all these and much more, as a partially disabled man. For most of us, such close encounters with mortal dangers 8000m above civilisation are experienced only in movies. For David Lim, it's a typical day at the office. AGAINST GIANTS is about confronting your deadliest nemesis, slaying dragons in your head, overcoming physical disabilities. And the triumphs reserved for those who would take their limits beyond the conventional definition of possible.
