Hundreds of people have died attempting to climb Mount Everest. There are many bodies still there because it’s too dangerous to go retrieve them. Since the temperatures are so low, the bodies are conserved and it just looks like a person sleeping. Well climbers have been using the bodies they find along the way as landmarks to gauge where they’re at, they even named one calling him “green boots”. My question is, is that disrespectful to the dead and their family? Or since they cannot be retrieved it’s just fine? Also, if hikers are able to come across the bodies, wouldn’t that mean a rescue team can go retrieve them instead of saying it’s too dangerous to attempt? My opinion is that it’s very disrespectful and I would be beyond upset if I knew they were using my loved ones body as a landmark.
