The thick clothing is because it's absolutely freezing up in the mountains and they wear oxygen masks because very high in the air like that, the air is too thin and you could die from the low amount of oxygen.

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 level do you need an oxygen mask for skydiving?

An oxygen mask being essential for skydiving is a myth. Just don't bring one; it's a waste of money. jm143am says: For someone jumping at 14k feet or below - a mask isn't needed...anything over 14k feet the air is thinner and thus more difficult to breathe....most people won't jump their intro jumps from this height unless requested to do so...and they'll probably provide you with a mask...18k feet or something of that nature its a must to have one...don't want to be passing out after jumping out of a plane ;)


How can I have multiple layer masks on the same layer at once in Adobe Photoshop?

I assume you named each mask, if not, then under Select go to save mask and give each mask a name. Then do a load mask, on the layer you want, of each mask that you saved. But you must check Add Mask each time you add a new mask. They will all be added to each other.
