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.

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.

One very off-putting factor for climbing Mount Everest is the climb itself. This is because of all of the risks taken when doing so. All of the risks are very extreme and most can actually lead to death as many that have attempted making the treacherous journey up the mountain have not made it back down safely. This factor can become stuck in many people’s heads and change their minds about making the journey up this beautiful mountain completely. Although several see the travel up the mountain as dangerous and unpleasant, many also see it as the best part of the whole trip. This makes perfect sense seeing as during this climb you can experience some of the most beautiful scenery anyone would ever have the chance to see in their entire lives. The climb has been said to be beautiful and well worth all of the hardship of injury and pain. Overall the climb up the mountain can be seen as the whole reason not to climb Mount Everest or the very reason to do so, but either way the sights you can see are magnificent, or are they?

Josh here ignores Peak for his entire life, no birthday presents, Christmas cards, not even a letter, just a pile of unopened mail he received over the course of ten years, that he sleeps next to every night. Then, he suddenly appears to bail Peak out of jail for scaling his sixth skyscraper, as he was finally caught- and arrested. During the trial, he finds that his mother called Josh, as a last resort, to help out. After the trial, he immediately left New York, except the destination was not where he thought he would be. Peak was expecting to land in Chiang Mai, but instead he was staying in a hotel in Bangkok, Thailand for the night. The next day, they left for Kathmandu (which Peak wasn’t informed of until a couple hours before the flight), which is where he learns that he is going to Mt. Everest. Yet, it’s bittersweet for Peak. It may be every climber's dream to climb Everest, but Peak also learns that the only reason he is doing this is to help his dad’s Josh’s business, also conveniently titled ‘Peak Experience’, with his debt by becoming the youngest person to ever go above 29,000 feet, and boosting his popularity for achieving this record. Josh also tells him that if he were older than 15, he most likely wouldn’t’ve bailed him, wouldn’t have taken him to Everest, and still would have nothing to do with
