綠靴子
綠靴子（英語：Green Boots）為一具身份不明的珠穆朗瑪峰登山者遺體，並成為珠穆朗瑪峰東北嶺登山路線上的顯着地標[1][2]。雖然這名登山客的身份尚未得到官方確認，但據信其身份可能為1996年死於珠穆朗瑪峰的印度登山者澤旺·帕卓。「綠靴子」名稱源自於死者所穿的綠色Koflach登山靴。所有從北側攀登的遠征隊，皆能夠看見這具遺體，蜷曲於海拔8,500米（27,900呎）的石灰岩山洞中。2006年，另一位登山者大衛·夏普在獨自攀登珠穆朗瑪峰時死於同一個山洞中，被稱為「綠靴洞」（Green Boots' Cave）。
2014年5月，據報綠靴子已經不見蹤影[3]，推測可能已移走並埋葬[4]。2017年，隨着更多登山者返回現場，依據攀登至第二階平臺的登山者說法，這具遺體於海拔8,500米處再度被發現，可能已被少許石頭覆蓋[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.
