Depends on the weather that night. Let's say it was only -20°C (-4°F) with mild winds. The question is whether the hikers would have succumbed to hypothermia a few hours later given the clothing they did have on them outside the tent, and given that they were accustomed to being outside in that weather.

Even -10 would be life threatening in that region without proper clothing or shelter.

Sarapuk, you are correct on this point. Folks from warm climates or without experience of spending nights outdoors in the winter do not realize how quickly hypothermia can set in if not dressed or sheltered properly.
