During Covid the sherpas took the opportunity to really clean up Everest, including Green Boots. It’s such a shame that their best option to earn a living is to watch rich folk trash a mountain they consider sacred.

I just checked the article and can we talk about The Rainbow Valley for a second? It sounds so nice, but it's actually a hole full of corpses in colorful clothing. Why would anyone climb Everest?
That article was a rabbit hole. Found out about a dead climber called Sleeping Beauty because her corpse looks like it's just taking a nap on the floor.
Can you please fix your post so that it links to the original wikipedia page?
Otherwise, yeah, mighty creepy - remember reading about it some time ago. Apparently, there is quite some bodies lying around in Mount Everest as it's just not worth it/feasible to recover the bodies so they serve as a warning.
Fixed. Also a reminder that there are still piles of trash on Mount Everest.
Thanks ;)
Hey here's an idea, maybe we stop climbing the mountain with dead people on it?
Naw
Classic green boots!
