Everest

The Journey to Heights Unknown

Treacherous terrain

Where Green Boots rests at the top

Heaven's awaiting

--------------------------------------------

"8,500 feet up the slope of Everest, a morbid marker serves as a guide to climbers. Known as 'Green Boots', everyone approaching Everest's summit from the North side must pass by Tsewang Paljor's body. It's an indication of just how close one is to summitting."
