After thirty years, the family of “Green Boots,” the man who perished in a small limestone cave near the top of Mount Everest, will finally get closure.
Green Boots set out to climb the tallest mountain in the world in 1996. His body was found 350 metres (1,150 feet) from the summit, where it remains today, about 8,500 metres (27,900 feet) above sea level.
The man is believed to have succumbed to temperatures of -30°C (-22°F) and extremely strong winds during a severe blizzard that year.
