walter bonatti account of his k2 ascent is pretty hardcore.

>Bonatti saw that Mehdi was in no condition to climb further or make a return to Camp VIII and was reluctantly forced to endure an open bivouac without tent or sleeping bag at 8,100 metres (26,600 ft) and −50 °C (−58 °F). This cost Mehdi his toes, while Bonatti was lucky to survive the terrible night unharmed.

Quoted By:

The Lykov family (Russian: Лыкoв) was a Russian family of Old Believers.[1] The family of six is known for spending 42 years in complete isolation from human society in an otherwise uninhabited upland of Abakan Range, in Tashtypsky District of Khakassia (southern Siberia). Since 1988, only one daughter, Agafia, survives.

Their story became well known following the 1994 publication of Lost in the Taiga: One Russian Family's Fifty-Year Struggle for Survival and Religious Freedom in the Siberian Wilderness by journalist Vasily Peskov.

This is Jean Hilliard (1980)
Jean was involved in a car accident in December of 1980 which resulted in car failure in sub zero temperatures. She decided to walk to her friend’s house which was two miles away, but collapsed 15ft outside the door. During the night, temperatures dropped to -22 °F (-30 °C) and she was found frozen solid at 7am after six hours in the cold. Once they had transported her to the hospital, doctors found that her skin was too hard to pierce with a hypodermic needle, her body temperature was too low to register on a thermometer, her eyes were solid with no response to light and her pulse was approximately 12 beats per minute.
They wrapped her in an electric blanket and she made a full recovery. She was released from the hospital after 49 days with no permanent damage to her brain or body aside from frostbite.

came here to suggest this.
Also most of the crew could have taken some time off after this, instead most enlisted for ww1 which by then was in full meat grinder mode.
People then were a tough breed.

Damn! That is a cool one. Reminds me a bit of Ewa Wiśnierska.

>On 14 February 2007, in spite of weather reports heralding the presence of violent thunderstorms, Wiśnierska decided to try to fly in order to train for the 2007 paragliding world championship near Manilla, New South Wales, Australia. She got trapped in the updraft of two joining thunderstorms. Unable to get out, she was lifted to an altitude of 9,946 metres (32,631 ft), according to her GPS. The GPS variometer also tracked vertical speeds of up to +20 m/s (77 kilometres per hour (48 mph)).[4] She landed 3.5 hours later about 60 kilometres (37 mi) north of her starting position.

What amazes me about this is the dates at the bottom. Their technology was so primitive that Scott could arrive at the South Pole having no idea that Amundsen had been there over a month prior, yet they had the skill and sheer tenacity to cross those vast distances and locate the same relatively infinitesimal predetermined location on the map. Those guys were pinnacles of men.
