Why does a rope climber pull downward on the rope to move upward?

The climber is actually pulling downwards on the rope. S/he is trying to pull the rope down or out of the ceiling but cannot do so. If you think of the climber just hanging there the rope has a tension upwards to counter the weight of the climber. If you are to move up then equilibrium must be broken and the net force on the climber must be up so the rope pulls the climber upwards. Of course, this pull is to do with action and reaction but the effect is the same.

What happen when the downward pull of gravity on an object is equal to the upward force of water?
The object floats in the water.
When a rockets lifts off the ground the net force is in an upward direction Is the upward pushing force greater or lesser than the downward pull of gravity?
Greater
When a rocket lifts off the ground the net force is in upward direction. Is the upward pushing force greater or lesser than the downward pull of gravity.?
Greater
What is the practical use of a pulley that does not change the size of the input force?
It's easier to pull downward than upward.
What is the angle between a support force and the surface on object rests upon?
The upward support force is as much as the downward pull of gravity.
What is upward pull?
ITS LIKE WHEN THERE IS A STICK STUCK DOWNWARD INTO THE GROUND AND YOU WANT TO TAKE IT OUT. YOU WILL PULL IT UPWARD. Sorry for capitalisation.. Hope this helped, :D

Is the upward pushing force greater or lesser than the downward pull of gravity?
The force on you, if you are stationary, exactly balances gravity.

Why is it easier to pull a box across a surface with an upward angle then push a box across a surface with a downward angle?
Push a box across a surface with a downward angle because gravity is helping.

How do you make a Lego car move without pushing it?
Blow on it. Pull it with a string. Place it on a downward slope.
