Blog-ger#10: Peak

        Josh made a really bold move. I thought that was the end of Peak's trip, I thought that Peak was going home. But oh noooooo!!!!! Josh had faked his blink and played a cruel trick. Peak was obviously upset and didn't realize it was a trick, but none the less, it happened. Josh faked Peak's removal off the mountain, just to please the other climbers. Earlier on in the story, the other climbers were aghast to find that all of their money that was used to climb Everest was money funding Peak. This didn't settle well in the other climbers' stomachs, but it was the daring truth. So, the only way Josh was to bolster his chances of getting Peak to the summit, was to try and call the bluff of the other climbers. This was a terrible idea. Although, I think Josh made the right choice. He was the one to put the news out there anyway, so he must have had a plan. That is a very interesting trick and worked very well on the oblivious climbers. I do also think that the way he executed it was a little harsh. Peak was very demoralized and not particularly expecting it.
