Woodall initiated and led an expedition in 2007, The Tao of Everest, with the purpose of returning to the mountain to bury the bodies of Francys Arsentiev and an unidentified climber (Green Boots), both of whom were plainly visible from the nearby climbing route. Francys Arsentiev's body was visible to climbers for nine years, from her death, May 24, 1998, to May 23, 2007. On May 23, 2007, Woodall was able to locate Arsentiev's body, and after a brief ritual, dropped her to a lower location on the face, removing the body from view.
