绿靴子
无名登山遇难者
绿靴子（英语：Green Boots）为一具身份不明的珠穆朗玛峰登山者遗体，并成为珠穆朗玛峰东北岭登山路线上的显著地标[1][2]。虽然这名登山客的身份尚未得到官方确认，但据信其身份可能为1996年死于珠穆朗玛峰的印度登山者泽旺·帕卓。“绿靴子”名称源自于死者所穿的绿色Koflach登山靴。所有从北侧攀登的远征队，皆能够看见这具遗体，蜷曲于海拔8,500米（27,900英尺）的石灰岩山洞中。2006年，另一位登山者大卫·夏普在独自攀登珠穆朗玛峰时死于同一个山洞中，被称为“绿靴洞”（Green Boots' Cave）。
2014年5月，据报绿靴子已经不见踪影[3]，推测可能已移走并埋葬[4]。2017年，随著更多登山者返回现场，依据攀登至第二阶平台的登山者说法，这具遗体于海拔8,500公尺处再度被发现，可能已被少许石头覆盖[5]。

Adventurer Noel Hanna made this discovery in May 2014, when he was surprised to find not only that Green Boots’ cave was devoid of its familiar resident, but also that many of the bodies on the north side – one stretch of which is sometimes referred to as “rainbow ridge,” for the colourful down suits of its many fallen climbers – seemed to have vanished. Hanna estimates that, previously, up to 10 bodies were visible on the push to the summit, but in 2014 he only counted two or three. “I would be 95% certain that [Paljor] has been moved or covered with stones,” Hanna says.
