The body of David Sharp still sits in a cave, known as “Green Boots Cave”, at the top of Mount Everest.  David attempted the climb in 2005 and near the top, stopped in this cave to rest.  His body eventually froze in place rendering him unable to move.  Over 30 climbers passed by him as he sat freezing to death.  Some heard faint moans and realized he was still alive.  They stopped and spoke with him.  He was able to identify himself but was unable to move.  Brave climbers moved him into the Sun in an attempt to thaw him but eventually, realizing David would be unable to move, were forced to leave him to die.  His body still sits in the cave and is used as a guide point for other climbers nearing the summit.


The body of “Green Boots” (an Indian climber who died in 1996) lies near a cave that all climbers pass on their way to the peak.  Green Boots now serves as a waypoint marker that climbers use to gauge how near they are to the summit.  Green Boots became separated from his party in 1996 and sought this mountain overhang (really a small, open mouthed cave) to use as protection from the elements.  He sat there shivering in the cold until he died.  The wind has since blown his body over.

Say wat?? Asal ada dua version lak ni? Vavi hoax.

i can't understand why anyone wants to do this.

I dont think they do either - that's why the famous answer to "why?" is "because it's there"

if there's a volcano eruption , does anyone go climb up that volcano just because it's there?

ini bodoh namanya

i don't understand why we need to glorify deaths like this

they died because they were asking for it in the first place

in the name of adventure konon

even their climbing parties were unable to help them

they deserve it

diff ppl lah. the first one went climbing solo.

Mana bro, read carefully.

Jumpa Green boot mat salleh, dah penanda dekat ke puncak. Tk kn jumpa green boot india pon tak sampai2 lagi?

I cant help feeling a little conflicted...its such a waste of their lives, sometimes you need to respect mother natures boundaries.

nono, the mat salleh was in green boots cave (prob refer to the indian dude from 1996 *second pic*). the mat salleh climb to that cave where the green boots indian guy was found, and the guy died there too

what they mean by the elements?

The real killer is the altitude. Thin oxygen cause the climber to get tired quickly. Your body react to the thin oxygen by reducing you metabolic rate and telling you to reduce your oxygen consumption by taking a rest. Many succumb and laid down to rest to which they never wake. You need an iron will to defy your biological system and go on.
