CrashOne, its not "the other way round" at all. BackPacker said that as you go down, the wind backs and lessens while you said that as you go up the wind veers and increases. That's the easy bit.

If you maintain the same height the wind, completely ignoring Coriolis and surface roughness, can have the temerity to change both direction AND speed
