Peak by Roland Smith
A defiant teenage climber is arrested after scaling a New York skyscraper and is sent to live with his estranged father, a famous mountaineer. Given a chance to join an expedition to Mount Everest and attempt to become the youngest person to reach the summit, he confronts extreme altitude, dangerous weather, team tensions, and the costs of his ambition. Through friendships, hardship, and a near-tragic decision on the mountain, he learns about responsibility, humility, and what true courage really means.
