A member asked:

What's the treatment for hypothermia for climbers?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get warm: Simply doing whatever it takes to warm the body. This includes added layers of clothing, jackets, gloves, etc. There's no medication or something like that if that's what you're wondering.
