Greenboots has been laying there frozen in the snow since the 90s. It even became a landmark for other climbers. Im glad they managed to at least identify the poor soul. Who knows how much longer he’s going to rest there..

Looks like they might retrieve the body. > The Indo-Tibetan Border Police is soliciting bids from high altitude recovery agencies for a mission to retrieve the remains of a climber long known only as "Green Boots" from the mountain's northern slope https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mount-everest-green-boots-body-of-climber-recovery-plan-india/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mount-everest-green-boots-body-...

    A lot of people come to HN for the comments. It’s often useful to gauge a story by public sentiment first. That said, you’re ultimately correct that it’s in the article, but I appreciated it. :)

I think Mallory's body was left until 1999. He died in 1924.

  Conrad Anker covered his body in scree. Subsequent expeditions have been unable to locate it. There's speculation that it was secretly removed from the mountain for political reasons.

    Political? That sounds odd.

  The location of Mallory's body was unknown until 1999. The location of this one has been known pretty much the whole time.

    I think another climber spotted him in the 1930s, but didn't mention it, because he didn't want to have a media circus.

  For real? You’re pretty off at spotting the LLM patterns and feel.
