J'ai trouvé ça par hasard sur Wikipedia:
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,[1] lay curled under an overhang, a victim of exposure in the storm that hit Everest on May 10, 1996. He came to be referred as Green Boots and is mentioned routinely in many contemporary accounts. The name derives from the flouroscent Green colored Koflach boots worn by him. The climber died while in a fetal position in the rock cave - presumably because of the exposure to the extreme cold.
Green Boots est passé dans le langage courant (des alpinistes) pour désigner un grimpeur disparu en 1966, mort de froid dans une crevasse de la face nord du mont Everest.
Hommage !
