Sure seems to violate the laws of thermodynamics.

I've heard of some parts of some climbs on Everest to be 80F (snow climbing on a windless sunny day in shorts would be ok) but sometimes Everest is -15F with a 50kt wind. Would take quite a thermal output to keep limbs pliable with that kind of heat loss. Was he climbing in those conditions?

I'm skeptical. But the ice water immersion sure is impressive.
