Of course, at the top of Everest the ambient temperature could easily have a greater impact on boiling time than the reduced pressure. It would depend on your heat source, the thermal conductivity of the container material in which you boiled your water, and the thickness of the container. Lots of variables to consider before you hire a Sherpa.
