The kid who climbed Everest

after reaching base camp Bear and Mick go back down the mountain for rest. already Bear is relaying heavily on Mick for emotional support. He misses his family and must get over this first lonely hurdle to enable himself to climb Everest. Mick has always been Bears best friend and before they left his mother had told Bear " as long as you two are together Mick will be safe" this shows how close their bond is and that they would never allow the other to get hurt. After a couple days resting in town Bear and Mick go back up and make some short day trips towards camp one. Then they wait for the rest of the team to arrive.
