It's gotten down to -50C where I live a few times in my life and the easiest way I can describe it is that it hurts to breathe, any exposed skin will quickly start freezing and it's generally a good reminder of your mortality and how easy it would be to die. Like people in hot climates, simply don't go out when it's that cold unless it's 100% necessary.
Would not recommend.
I feel horrible for that man

Life-threatening condition
Something about counting chickens comes to mind...
colder than Everest on average. Most people summit around –20°C, but a bad scenario is –40°C (if you've planned your ascent, I think it can be colder during the "worst" time to climb- January).
And even then it's almost a suicide mission. Let alone not being able to move around or be in a sleeping bag + tent.
Totally read that sign as “Paris-Orgy” at first.
