My brother and his wife once went on 6 week tour of the Himalayas.....On looking at his photots when they got back, I noticed that his wife and himself were both dressed like the bloke on the right of your picture, exept for the oxygen mask (they weren't that high)but basicly head to toe down and fleece and £300 walking boots.... but in a lot of the photos was a man wearing nothing more than a vest, shorts and what were basicly nothing more that open toe flip flops, on asking 'Who's the bloke in the vest and flip flops?' he repied 'Oh, that was our sherpa, they're used to the cold....'
