Named for the bright-colored jackets and gear that still remain on its victims, the Rainbow Valley reminds travelers of the possible deadly consequences of the climb.
One of the most famous of these individuals is "Green Boots" — Tsewang Paljor, according to the BBC, who lost his life about 25 years ago. He still lies on his side near the summit with a red fleece pulled over his frozen face and his arms wrapped tightly around his body. For many years, his legs, with their bright neon green boots, blocked part of the path.
"Many have lost their lives on Everest, and like Paljor, the vast majority remain on the mountain," said the news organization. "But Paljor's body, thanks to its prominence, came to be one of the most well-known." Outside reported that Paljor's body was moved off the trail in 2014 and that it no longer appears in a prominent spot, although it remains on the mountain.
