One of the two travelers leaves him behind because he is concerned that he'll get slowed down and won't make it before he freezes.  The other picks the man up and carries him.  Once near the top the 2nd traveler comes across the frozen body of the first.  Turns out the extra body heat from the exertion of carrying the injured man helped keep him warm while the other guy succumbed to the cold.There was a culture of nordic style sorcerers in the 3e Scarred Lands campaign setting that when they casted spells it generated body heat so they could run around the frozen north with almost nothing on</blockquote>
