The higher you go up away from the Earth's surface, the less oxygen can be found in the air and more of gases we don't need to breathe in. So, as the mountaineer goes higher up, breathing becomes harder and your body works slowly, reducing reaction times. By carrying an oxygen tank, the mountaineer can always be breathing the perfect concentration of oxygen they need at all times.
