Long Answer
1. Josh is immediately described as not having enough of a conscience to lose any sleep. As the novel progresses, Josh lies multiple times and is deceptive in nature. He is willing to risk the life of his son for the sake of his business ventures, and he prioritizes the thrill of mountaineering over his connections with his family. (Various chapters)
2. Peak realizes that reaching the top of the mountain grants him a fantastic view of the world, but it is of little value compared to the friends and family he left behind in United States. His friendship with Sun-jo changed his perspective on the importance of relationships, and Sun-jo’s need for a better life influenced him to give up his record-breaking ascent in favor of friendship. His mother’s call helped Peak realize that being with Peak was more important to her than her desire to climb.
