#sponsored Go to https://snhu.edu/everest to explore over 200 degree programs and find your path forward. For nearly 30 years, the climber long referred to as "Green Boots" has remained one of Mount Everest's most haunting and recognizable landmarks. Now, after DNA testing, the Government of India says the climber has finally been identified, and an extraordinary recovery mission is being considered. But should it happen? I welcome rigorous debate on the ethics, decisions, and systemic issues of Mount Everest. Please share your thoughts in the comments section. SMALL CLARIFICATION: During the video I refer to the 1996 Indo-Tibetan Border Police expedition as pursuing a "first Indian ascent." I intended to say the first Indian ascent of Everest from the North (Tibetan) side. **THANK YOU TO OUR HIGH ALTITUDE SPONSORS**: CAMP FOUR: John V.
