team reaches camp 3, all get oxygen, 24,000 ft.
As teams get higher they need oxygen to survive. They need it to survive or most do because as you get higger and higger up the air gets thinner. As the climbers keep going up the mountain the altitude gets higher therfore it's harder to breath so they need oxygen.There is oxygen there, just less parts per millio. Where they climb it's called the death zone. -
