They started at 453, then climbed 162, so now they are at:

453 + 162 = 615 feet.

They then cllmb another 207 feet to get to:

615 + 207 = 822 feet.

They then descend ( climb down) 285 feet.

822 - 285 = 537 feet.

Now they need to get back tot he original 453,

so they have to descend:

537 - 453 = 84 more feet.

The answer is C.
