As the climber climbs up, the atmospheric pressure increases and the amount of oxygen decreases. therefore due to lack of oxygen,
pyruvate is converted into lactic acid and energy. this lactic acid in muscles produce muscle cramps causing muscle pain.

thanks alot krishna725
that was the right answer and very useful as well
but atmospheric pressure decreases with increase in altitude

Answer:
Mountain climbers experience the difference in the atmospheric pressure as they move low land to higher altitudes. The atmospheric pressure decreases at higher altitudes. The air exhibit very low oxygen content. The lack of oxygen creates problems like breathlessness, anoxia, increased heart rate and muscular cramps. In the absence of adequate amount of oxygen, pyruvate present in the muscles is converted into lactic acid, which is responsible for muscle cramp or terrible muscle ache.
