Following figures of speech have been used in the poem Everest is not the Only Peak:

Alliteration- It is the occurrence of the same sound at the beginning of closely connected words. Examples- “Hold; humble as we are”, “the way we live”, “We are proud of the position”, “We do with devotion deep and true”, “knows no kneeling”, “deem it our duty”
Repetition- It is the repetition of a word or a phrase in the poem for poetic effect. The line “We are proud and feel so tall” is repeated throughout this poem.
Metaphor– A metaphor directly refers to one thing by mentioning another. Here, “the ladder for the rise of man” refers to the path of humanity’s progress.
Personification– Personification is a figure of speech in which an idea or thing is given human attributes and/or feelings or is spoken of as if it were human. Example- “We bow before competence and merit.”
