After two more strenuous miles I had reached the summit of Mount Lafayette. As I stood there surrounded by the beautiful mountain ranges I could not get over how blessed I was to have the ability to make it here. A year prior, just walking up a hill was impossible. Then I was fighting a

Standing at an astounding height of 29,028 feet above sea level, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay were the first people to ever successfully climb to the summit of Mt. Everest. After the men climbed Everest, both men wrote about their experiences during their journey, Tenzing wrote The Dream Comes True and Hillary wrote The View From the Summit. Both of the stories are incredibly similar, but contain some very controversial differences, like the size of the gap, whether or not the two men helped the other equally, and whether or not one struggled more than the other. Near the end of the story when they are facing their last big challenge the two men had to climb up a large rock

“You can never tell who the mountain will allow and who it will not.” The novel “Peak” by Roland Smith shows you the thrilling journey of climbing the tallest mountain in the world. Climbing a mountain for several months doesn’t just take physical strength, but also mental strength. The story takes you through Peak Marcello’s journey to become the youngest person in the world to climb Mt.Everest. “Peak” follows a theme of love, family, and most of all survival.

Everest. When the author climbed up the mountain, he wrote that he “slogged steadily up the glacier” (line 8). The letter “s” in “slogged steadily” is an example of alliteration. Through alliteration, Krakauer informs that the climbing is gradual and exhausting as he had to “slog steadily” to reach the destination. Going up “slogged” already refers to Krakauer's hard effort, but adding another word starting with the same letter emphasizes the point once again. This describes one disadvantage. The author highlights another disadvantage as he states the force from the malicious altitude makes him feel as if “afflicted by a raging red-wine hangover” (line 20). The “raging red-wine” is another alliteration that emphasizes the intensity of the atmosphere in Camp Two. Through the representation of the author having an intense hangover, readers are informed how tough climbing Mt. Everest is. The toughness also reveals the theme as hikers encounter value conflicts. Hikers are required to be physically capable, and to face severe hangovers. Since the climb constantly challenges the hikers’ limit, hikers are continuously forced to choose to give up or to keep climbing. The exhaustion and pain nature gives pressures the hikers’ value of strong-will as the severe environment provides hikers with the desire to rest and give up. In other words, the high demand of Mt. Everest makes hikers, including Krakauer,

In order to continue climbing Everest, many aspects of climbing need to be improved before more people endanger their lives to try and reach the roof of the world. The guides have some areas that need the most reform. During the ascension of Everest the guides made a plethora mistakes that seemed insignificant but only aided in disaster. The guides first mistake is allowing “any bloody idiot [with enough determination] up” Everest (Krakauer 153). By allowing “any bloody idiot” with no climbing experience to try and climb the most challenging mountain in the world, the guides are almost inviting trouble. Having inexperienced climbers decreases the trust a climbing team has in one another, causing an individual approach to climbing the mountain and more reliance on the guides. While this approach appears fine, this fault is seen in addition to another in Scott Fischer’s expedition Mountain Madness. Due to the carefree manner in which the expedition was run, “clients [moved] up and down the mountain independently during the acclimation period, [Fischer] had to make a number of hurried, unplanned excursions between Base Camp and the upper camps when several clients experienced problems and needed to be escorted down,” (154). Two problems present in the Mountain Madness expedition were seen before the summit push: the allowance of inexperienced climbers and an unplanned climbing regime. A third problem that aided disaster was the difference in opinion in regards to the responsibilities of a guide on Everest. One guide “went down alone many hours ahead of the clients” and went “without supplemental oxygen” (318). These three major issues: allowing anyone up the mountain, not having a plan to climb Everest and differences in opinion. All contributed to the disaster on Everest in

Peak is brave, what kind of 14 year old would climb the largest and one of the most dangerous mountain in the world (Pg.228). ”When I finally reached the rope I gave it a tug, It seemed solid enough but i wasn't sure if it could hold my weight (Pg.202)”. Peak has courage by climbing Mount Everest(Pg. 67). Peak shows perseverance by...

Despite his impressive record he had never attempted anything close to the scale of Everest, whose summit is at an extremely dangerous altitude. He even admits to his relative inexperience with high altitude saying, “Truth be told, I’d never been higher than 17,200 feet--not even as high as Everest Base Camp”(28). Krakauer also mentions how he has gotten out of shape over the years partially because of the lack of climbing in his life, making him even less prepared for the assent. Krakauer shows a definite fear of such a high mountain, referring to climbers who have perished in the past. He states that, “Many of those who died had been far stronger and possessed vastly more high-altitude experience than I.” (28). Even though Krakauer’s experience may be more relevant to the Everest assent than some of the other tourist climbers, it is nowhere near the level needed to be considered an elite climber.

Mount Everest is 29,092 feet tall. Imagine climbing this mountain with little to no experience. Would you survive? In the nonfiction novel Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer, Krakauer and his recruited crews try climbing this mountain. With many deaths along the way to the top, readers are quick to blame characters in the book. However, character stands out from the rest: Krakauer. In the book Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer, Krakauer is the most responsible for the other character’s deaths because he recruited and dragged along inexperienced mountain climbers, pushed them harder than they should’ve been pushed, and watched them suffer.

“Once Everest was determined to be the highest summit earth, it was only a matter of time before people decided that Everest needed to be climbed” (14)

According to Friedrich Nietzsche, a famous German scholar and philosopher, “To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering,” After reading the memoir, Into Thin Air, by Jon Krakauer, the message is evident that one of the main themes of the story is suffering. Immediately to begin the story, the narrator, Jon Krakauer, is standing upon the peak of Mt. Everest. Immediately this poses a lot of questions as to how he got there and the pain he must have went through because there is no easy journey to take to climb a mountain. Krakauer and his guides take a risk but suffer through the pain to come out on top. Even though he had to suffer at times, it was all worth it in the end when he accomplished what many people couldn’t do.

At one point you have to grab ropes and pull yourself up the rest of the way. As I climbed this I heard peoples constant questioning “why did I do this again?” and I constantly questioned that myself. Going through that race there were points where I just wanted to stop, I wanted to sit down and just give up. After I finally made it to the top of the mountain all I wanted to do was take a long nap, but I told myself “NO” you’ve got this and I will see this to the end.

When the offer of a lifetime came up John had to make a decision. The company would cover the 65,000 dollar fee and give him a chance at his lifelong dream, “Standing on top of the world.” He had arrived at base camp and was already higher than he had ever been before. “The deep rasping cough i'd developed in Lobuje worsened day by day,” ( Jon Krakauer 67.) These conditions a common symptom of minor altitude sickness tested jon strength as they only got worse. The thin air never helped with the cough and the higher he went the worse it got. The skills John accumulated over the years had not seen anything like this. “Hall assured climbing 2,000 feet higher on the mountain each time, our bodies would adapt,” ( John 70.) These skills and techniques would add and improve on his ability to climb.

Two noticeably famous people who have climbed the ruthless mountain Everest, Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmand Hillary, are possibly the best 2 climbers that have been around, and If I had to choose between the two, I would pick Norgay. When deciding between the two I had to think about several things, and one of them is the advantages of having both people with myself. Nonetheless, I concluded that they were both bold and that they were willing to do anything to go 29,000 feet. They were both someone who knew about the land, and knew what to do, and not what to do. “At that great moment for which I had waited all my life, my mountain did not seem to me a lifeless thing of rock and ice, but warm and friendly and loving.” (Norgay Page 42) Even

Have you ever wondered what kind of hardships come with climbing the tallest mountain in the world before? Expectantly, the book Peak by Roland Smith and the movie Everest have a lot of similarities with some exceptionally prominent differences. From personal conflict and character conflict to the general aspect of climbing Mt. Everest, the book and the movie explore all different types of similarities and differences. Being similar, in both the movie and the book, the mountain always decides. The morals were constant and everyone experiences the same deal in similar ways. One significant difference came between Peak, the main character in the book, and Rob(5th summit attempt), the main character in the movie.
