Well weight is force exerted by gravitational field on an object. So if 'g' is acceleration due to gravity and m is mass of object then weight(W) of object is W=mg But gravitational acceleration on earth is given as: g=GM/(R+h)^2 G:Gravitaional Constant value 6.67*10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2 M:Mass of earth value:6*10^24kg R:Radius of earth value:6.4*10^6km h:Height of object above the surface of earth At surface of earth h=0 but at peak of mountain h will have some finite value. So as h will increase, g will decrease. Due to decrease in gravitational acceleration at peak of mountain the "WEIGHT OF CLIMBER WILL DECREASE"

Can you feel gravity on top of a mountain?
Your weight is the result of the force of gravity. Without gravity you would be weightless and would float away. This does not happen on the top of mountains. Because you are farther from the center of the Earth, your weight is slightly less on top of a mountain, but compared to the diameter of the Earth, mountains are quite small, and the difference in weight is very slight, and would not even be noticed. So yes, you feel gravity on top of a mountain.
Why would you weigh less on a high mountain peak than you would at sea level?
The weight of an object is the force of gravity on the object's mass. At the top of a mountain, you are slightly farther from the center of the earth, and so the earth's gravity is very slightly weaker. Thus, you weigh a tiny, tiny bit less at the top of the mountain than at sea level.
Why does the top of a mountain have greater air pressure?
It doesn't. Pressure is lower at the top of a mountain because there is less air weighing down on top of it.
