Fascinating For over twenty years, numerous mountaineers ascending Mount Everest have encountered "Green Boots," a deceased climber who lost his life near the summit in 1996.

On September 19, 1991, while hiking in the Ötztal Valley in the Alps, German hikers Erika and Helmut Simon stumbled upon what they initially thought was the body of a recently deceased mountain climber. However, it turned out that this was a remarkably preserved mummy, later named Ötzi, which had been encased in ice for over 5,300 years. The mummy was surrounded by various artifacts, including a bow and a quiver containing arrows, a copper-bladed axe, a flint dagger with a wicker sheath, birch wood vessels lined with maple leaves, remnants of a backpack, a leather pouch holding small items, and clothing and shoes made from fur and leather, among other minor items. Researchers analyzing Ötzi concluded that he likely met a violent end due to an arrowhead found lodged in his left shoulder and other injuries on his body, suggesting he was the victim of murder.

Presently, the presence of Green Boots' body serves as a grim milestone for climbers, indicating their proximity to the summit.⁠ Despite ongoing uncertainty about Green Boots' identity, his remains are among several that tragically mark the route to the top of the world's highest and most perilous mountain.⁠

@fasc1nate Cresting everest... to find junk strewn about.

@fasc1nate Turn the camera to show the queue of 80 fat Americans waiting to get there

@fasc1nate There is no remarkable achievement in climbing Mount Everest unless you do it without artifical oxygen. Otherwise it is just a selfish tourist attraction

@fasc1nate Sans les sherpas qui portent leurs bagages leur matériel et redescendent leurs poubelles, personne n'arriverait en haut.

@fasc1nate Everest is a disgusting filthy mess! What a disgrace! Liberals…

@fasc1nate Waste of time. No one cares who goes up there, and when people do it’s full of trash and looks like shit.

@fasc1nate I don’t see it

@fasc1nate Wasn't filmed. Here's a picture.

@fasc1nate Want @Tesla to build TARS robot to bring the bodies back
