The Indian government has definitively identified the mountain's most famous dead body. Now comes the dangerous, expensive reality of hacking him out of the ice.
The Indian government is planning a high-risk extraction mission to the Tibetan side of Mount Everest in summer 2026 to finally bring home the remains of a world-famous dead body known simply as “Green Boots.” The plan involves an elite team of Sherpas to hack his body from a block of ice at 28,000 feet in an area known as the Death Zone—and then carry him home.
For nearly 30 years, climbers ascending the Northeast Ridge on Mount Everest shared a universal, chilling landmark. Deep within the hypoxic vacuum of the Death Zone, an area where oxygen is too low to sustain human life, there’s a route that passes a rock alcove. Curled up as if taking a brief nap lies the frozen body of a climber wearing bright green mountaineering boots. Over the years, this body has become the most famous of the 200-some corpses on Everest.
The body of Green Boots and others that fell to a similar fate are left on the side of the mountain because it’s both too dangerous and expensive to recover them, experts say.
“The reality of body recovery is that it’s all about money,” Everest guide Willie Benegas told Outside. The Argentinian-American mountaineer has summited the mountain 14 times, first in 1999 and most recently in 2025, and has also participated in rescues and body recovery operations.
“It costs a lot of money to bring someone down, and if the family doesn’t have the money, no one’s going to do it,” Benegas added.
