No Summit out of Sight

In my book summit out of sight by Jordan Romero a kid named Jay is facing an external conflict. His external conflict is that Jay can't go on the 7 mountains. He needed an age limit and he said" I can't wait til July to accomplish what I've been wanting to for years."  His dad also said "if you want to climb the 7 summits you need to train and get built for that." So he has been determined to do this but it's been very hard for the training and he's already start of giving up.
