Beg to differ...it was
bloody cold climbing 600 m up the exposed ridge north of Namche in wind and light snow!
Besides, bloody Sherpas wouldn't light the braziers until after 6-00 pm in most tea houses and even then barely put three sticks into it. Friggin' tight-arses.
Said it was something to do with ecology and saving the forests, or some crap like that.
