What does the expression "pitching the highest camp imply"?

We started pitching the highest camp that has ever been made. Everything took five times as long as it would have taken in a place where was enough air to breathe; but at last we got the tent up, ยท and when we crawled in, it was not too bad. There was only a light wind, and inside it was not too cold for us to take of our gloves. At night most clamberers take off their boots; but I preferred to keep them on. Hillary, on the other hand, took his off and laid them next to his sleeping bag.
A: They reached the summit of the highest mountain in the world
B: Those who climbed that far earlier did not pitch any camp
C: So far nobody has ever climbed that high
D: They were too many climbers and needed to pitch a big camp

The answer is: B
