The climber's elevation above sea level after meeting the other climber is 10,783 ft - 516 ft = 10,267 ft above sea level.

Therefore, the answer is B. 10,267 ft above sea level.

To find the climber's elevation above sea level after meeting the other climber, we need to subtract the descent of 516 ft from the peak's elevation.

The peak is 10,783 ft above sea level, and the climber descends 516 ft, so the climber's elevation above sea level after meeting the other climber is:

10,783 ft - 516 ft = 10,267 ft

Therefore, the correct answer is B. 10,267 ft above sea level.
