Five Singaporean women have made history by scaling Everest – the first female Singaporeans to do so. This achievement came after five years of gruelling preparation and training – and an uphill battle to find sponsors.
Despite the odds, the NATAS Singapore Women’s Everest Team – consisting of Jane Lee (above right), Esther Tan (left), Lee Lihui, Joanne Soo and Peh Gee – made it to the top of the world. They dedicated their climb to co-team member, Sim Yi Hui, who could not ascend due to chest pains.
