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.

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