After 30 years, the remains of a deceased Everest climber known only as \u201cGreen Boots\u201d will be recovered from the world\u2019s tallest peak. <\/strong>At the same time, the identity of \u201cGreen Boots\u201d was confirmed through DNA testing as Lance Naik Dorje Morup, an Indian climber who perished during the catastrophic 1996 Everest storm. The revelation comes after it was announced that the recovery mission will be carried out this month. For 30 years it was not clear who the deceased hiker was, but DNA testing in the lead up to the recovery mission confirmed that it was Dorje Morup and not Tsewang Paljor, both members of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) expedition caught in the 1996 blizzard on Everest\u2019s north side.<\/p>\n
