Where will the atmospheric pressure be greater—at ground level or at the top of high mountain?

Academic Physics NCERT Class 8

As the height increases, the atmospheric pressure decreases. So, the atmospheric pressure at ground level is more than the atmospheric pressure at the top of the mountain.

An elevator descends into a mine shaft at the rate of 6 m/min. If the descent starts at 10 m above ground level, how long will it take to reach -350m?
An elevator goes down at the rate of 4 m per minute. If it starts going down from a height of 15 m above the ground level, find the time taken by the elevator to reach 165 m below the ground level.(Consider the distance above the ground level to be a positive integer and that below the ground level by a negative integer)
