It is no small feat to keep a trekking team together for nearly two decades, yet somehow we have done just that – and we are still going strong.

Our journey began in 2006, when my good classmate Lim Thiam Joo (TJ Lim) and I decided to escape the sedentary rhythm of our 9-to-5 lives by climbing Mount Kinabalu. TJ was working in London then, and during a visit home we agreed that Kinabalu would be challenging but manageable – a belief we would later discover was only half true.
