"Normal body temperature", ok but these are two mountaineering nerds (not normal) so who knows.


Do you imagine that "nerds" have different bodies than "normal" people? I mean, sure, they're athletic, but they still go to human doctors, not some sort of xenobiologist veterinarians.


They may have started out the same as you or me, but the conditioning and acclimatization they’ve done over their lives certainly makes them more adapted to the activities they’re doing than the average person.


Serious question: do you really think mountaineers have a different resting core temp than "normal" human beings, as you apparently have claimed?
