How did he get as yellow as his boots?  Was Green Boots' (the guy left on Everest for years with climbers even posing for happy smiley faced selfies with his frozen corpse) face as green as his boots?  |

Re: Mountain Climbers Finds Frozen Dude
Marrying a mountain climber has to be the smartest way to a payday.

Re: Mountain Climbers Finds Frozen Dude
It's considered sacred to leave dead mountaineers where they are found. Subsequent climbers also use the bodies as map markers. In 1999, climbers found the body of George Mallory, who died in a fall in 1918. His climbing partner was never found. Mountain climbers are generally very independently wealthy, because a climb on Everest costs an average of about $45K. And the training takes about a year. And then there's the cost of getting there.

Re: Mountain Climbers Finds Frozen Dude
It is amazing that an expedition that set off to find George Mallory's body on that mountain actually located it.

Re: Mountain Climbers Finds Frozen Dude
They had narrowed the search area to 600x300 meters based on where Mallory fell so it wasn't entirely on coincidence but still amazing the way they ended up finding him.

Re: Mountain Climbers Finds Frozen Dude
I thoroughly disapprove of such actions! Applying clown face makeup, or giving him a fake moustache is far classier and also more acceptable.  |

That is extreme sun bleaching because they can't decompose so the skin stays exposed to sunlight
