1. Experienced limbers no longer use oxygen tanks as a matter of course. 2. It is possible to manage without oxygen, even on top of Everest, if you aren't doing anything but standing around. It is very hard to exert yourself, however, without an adequate supply of oxygen. 3. The higher you get, the "thinner" the air and the less oxygen. Taking in oxygen is the basic purpose of breathing in the first place. 4, There are now devices and techniques which can help climbers breathe without the need for "bottled" oxygen. For example, anyone planning to climb Everest these days is likely to spend several weeks at altitude beforehand, to give their body time to adapt (like producing extra red blood cells which can then absorb oxygen).
