Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was Ethan Zaph's nickname?

Answer: Z-man

Ethan Zaph was the youngest climber to summit Everest. He was only 15 when he made it to the top.

2. Dominic found the 'V' that he needed on a candy bar wrapper.

Answer: True

Dominic had bought tons on Summit Athletic drinks and energy bars to find the letters E-V-E-R-E-S-T so he could win the contest to get a chance to climb Everest. He found the 'V' that he needed on a candy wrapper that someone else had thrown out.

3. What was Sammi's favourite word?

Answer: Extreme

Sammi wanted to climb Everest because it was extreme. She was into other extreme sports, too, like skydiving.

4. What was the name of Sammi's boyfriend?

Answer: Caleb

Sammi really liked Caleb. Caleb liked extreme stuff, too, so the two of them went bungee jumping and did other extreme things together. Caleb did not go on the Everest trip.

5. Who were on the original team that was put together to climb Everest?

Answer: Ethan, Chris, Bryn and Perry

These four were the originals who made the team, but they were not the final four. The team got changed later on.

6. Who were on the final team that actually climbed Everest?

Answer: Perry, Tilt, Sammi and Dominic

The team changed for many reasons. Chris Alexis was kicked off because he was too old. Ethan quit and joined another team. Bryn got hurt. Perry got to stay because his Uncle was the founder of Summit Athletic.

7. What was Perry's uncle's name?

Answer: Joe Sullivan

Perry only made the team because his Uncle was sponsoring the team. His uncle was a billionaire.

8. Which of the climbers was a sleepwalker?

Answer: Bryn

Sammi caught Bryn sleepwalking at the training facility, but didn't tell anyone. That's how Bryn got hurt while camping out on a mountain.

9. Who gave Chris his vial of sand from the Dead Sea?

Answer: His grandmother

The Dead Sea is the lowest point in the world. Chris wanted to bring the sand to the top of Everest, which is the highest point in the world.

10. What day did the climbers leave for Nepal on?

Answer: March 15

The final team never actually went on the mountain in this book, but it states in the Epilogue what day they'd be leaving. It is in an e-mail from Tilt to the National Daily newspaper.
