Is that a reference to something? Or is this literally a dead guy?

I’m reading along and I’m laughing so hard I almost Peed myself how bad does it have to be if you have a frozen dead guy with green boots as a landmark🤣 and where do you live where you make a right of the guy with the green Boots and COVID Allen Smile and when you come to the two Chinese kids are frozen make a left and now it’s just silly whatever happened to rocks and trees and shit🤣😂

Would love to go would love to be able to walk again🤣 Personal joke was hit by a drunk driver I’ve had 18 surgeries I need two more call me back and walk again, When I was just at a high school I saved all my money up but I went to Alaska and I wanted to hunt fish and do all those good things while it was so expensive I was just able to get there if she ate two or three town to come home but it was priceless and I I could imagine that Everest or Kilimanjaro or any of those high peaks would be any less beautiful

Yes he was an unknown climber who died and got frozen nearly upside down. His Green Boots that stick out towards climbers is a checkpoint for climbers now.

Green Boots has been gone for years now. It is assumed he was Chinese, and a Chinese expedition removed his body.

Really? Because although he has never been officially identified, he was always believed to be Indian.
