Answer 2

Mountaineers carry oxygen cylinders to avoid breathlessness. As we go higher, the atmospheric pressure decreases.

Though the concentration of oxygen mostly remains 21 per cent, however the density of air, above 12,000 feet, becomes thinner resulting in less supply of oxygen.

Since, the mind and body require constant supply of oxygen to function, mountaineers carry oxygen cylinders when the climb high mountains.
