India seeking to recover the body of an Everest climber known as ‘Green Boots’
India is seeking to recover the body of a climber known as 'Green Boots' from Mount Everest's northern route in Tibet, nearly three decades after his death in a 1996 storm. The Indo-Tibetan Border Police aims to hire specialists for the retrieval, but the operation depends on Chinese approval and favorable weather conditions.
