Reading Response

Today I read Peak. Peak was on his way to Base Camp out Mt. Everest. To get ready for the climb, he was told he had to walk behind the truck with all his gear. Every night they stopped he would go climb a rock face that was near by to just stay in shape. As soon as he got to Base Camp he saw his father getting into a fistfight. All his father did was dodge a punch and then punched the guy in the chest and knocked him down into the snow. After that was over Captain Shek drove up in a Jeep and asked for everyone’s papers. He as checking to make sure everyone had a climbing permit and was allowed to be at the camp.
