Based on the Novel Peak by Roland Smith.
Peak is a boy (weird name) who is climbing Everest. Near the top his party is shortened to him, a poor Nepalese boy named Sun-Jo and Sherpas Yogi and Yash. He and Sun-Jo would be the 2 youngest people to climb Everest, but Peak would be a few months younger. Ten feet from the summit Peak decides to let the very sick Sun-Jo summit instead of him, so that Sun-Jo can be the youngest ever to climb Everest and have a better future. Peak says at the end that there are far more important things then climbing like, family.
Climbing for me is like breathing for you,
And Mount Everest was calling my name.
At the summit there is a divine view,
And here on the ground it's just not the same.
What I did caused an avalanche BOOM CRASH,
What I said surprised me more than he,
Is what I thought as Sun-Jo topped with Yash.
And I knew I'd done the right thing, you see.
I had made him feel great and that was good,
Sun-Jo looked like he was quite feeling fine.
What mattered was that I knew that I could
But for Sun-Jo it was like a life-line.
The view from Mount Everest is divine,
But below more important things are mine.
