In the snow, the owner of a pair of green boots curled up, lying stiff within a snow-filled cavity in the rock and ice, as if just taking a little rest.
The bright colors of the red mountaineering jacket, blue climbing pants, and green boots made him stand out starkly against the white and gray tones of Mount Everest.
The legendary "Green Boots".
Puba explained to the audience that this was one of the three major "Corpse Markers" on Mount Everest; nearby lay the equally famous "Resting Climber," who maintained the position of hugging his knees with his eyes staring straight into the distance before he died.
It could be said that these bodies served as "signposts".
But Bi Fang did not linger, merely glancing briefly before continuing his climb along Mount Everest's southeast ridge toward the summit.
As time passed, he climbed, rested, passed the third Corpse Marker "Sleeping Beauty," climbed again, and rested again.
