Bottled Oxygen

If you were at camp four and you only had a bottle of oxygen would you play it safe and stop or would you continue to climb. If you continued to pursue your goal to reach the top of the world would you use the bottled oxygen on the way up or on the way down? Explain your choice with examples from the text and/or real life situations.

If I only had one bottle of oxygen, I would still try to reach the summit. I would use it when I was going up because the air becomes more dense making it hard to breath. This makes sense becuase when your decending, the altitude starts becoming easier to beath in making it not as helpfull to use the oxygen going down rather than going up.
