The location is only approximated and needs to be more precisely identified.
Green Boots is the name given to the corpse of a climber that has become a landmark on the main Northeast ridge route of Mount Everest. The term Green Boots originates from the green mountaineering boots the body still wears. All expeditions from the north side encounter the body curled in the limestone alcove cave at 27,890 feet (8 500 m). In 2006, climber David Sharp died during a solo climb in what is known as "Green Boots' Cave". His plight may have been overlooked by those who saw him there but did not stop to investigate as they believed him to be Green Boots.
