At extreme altitudes, the air is thinner resulting in lower oxygen levels which can lead to altitude sickness and difficulty breathing. Climbers bring oxygen equipment to supplement the lower oxygen levels and help prevent altitude sickness, allowing them to perform better and reduce the risk of health complications.
