14090 ft - 490 ft = 13600 ft
that would be the climber's current elevation above sea level

The value of asked for is obtained by subtracting the distance traveled downward by the climber from the peak elevation. This is shown below,
d = 14,090 ft - 490 ft
The value is equal to 13600 ft. Thus, the climber is 13,600 ft from the ground.
