Didn't I just see an article about Sherpas having a quirk of their metabolism that makes them better adapted for it?

Both you and OP are bizzare. Race does matter, sherpas are genetically different for altitude. It's not level.

But I did read their incredible carrying capacity seems to just be training. Which makes sense since that's a recent thing.

Please don't post uncivilly, even when someone else is wrong.

So you do think that financial status and intelligence can protect you from frostbite.
