The difference in elevation between the mountain climber and the stone is the sum of their elevations:
Difference = (Elevation of mountain climber) + (Elevation of stone)
Difference = 29,035 ft + (-1,349 ft) (note that the elevation of the stone is negative because it is below sea level)
Difference = 27,686 ft
Therefore, the difference in elevation between the mountain climber and the stone is 27,686 ft.
