Green Boots is the name given to the dead body of an Indian climber on the North face route of Mount Everest. The body of the climber, presumably Tsewang Paljor, lay curled in a fetal position under an overhang, a victim of exposure in the storm that hit Everest on 10 May 1996. He came to be referred as Green Boots and is mentioned routinely in many contemporary accounts. The name derives from the fluorescent green Koflach boots he wore.
Morgan Boisson’s portrait is part of the “Top of the world” series.
