[JCEccles]

Brice revealed yesterday that Sharp was lying on top of the body of an Indian climber known as "Green Boots". The Indian's body had been in a small 8500m high cave since 1996.

The thought of climbers matter-of-factly navigating their courses and using the exposed and still-clothed corpses of long dead anonymous climbers as reference points is more than a bit grisly.

Reminds me of that great 70s book, "101 Uses for a Dead Cat." 101 Uses for a Dead Mountain Climber.

[Mr. Brightside]

"What is your location?"

"We are 150 feet past Green Boots and almost to Frost-bit Brit."
