This chapter examines the Yeti of the Himalayas. The name Yeti is the mispronunciation of the Sherpa name for the creature, Yeh-teh (animal of rocky places), or possibly a derivation of Meh-teh (man-bear). The odd and inappropriate name Abominable Snowman originally derived from the Everest Reconnaissance Expedition led by Lieutenant Colonel Charles Howard-Bury in 1921, which was one of the first groups to scout a route for an attempt to climb Mount Everest. Ascending past 20,000 feet of elevation, Howard-Bury and his team were surprised to find tracks in the snow that looked like a human foot. Their Sherpa guides “at once jumped to the conclusion” that it “was the track of a wild, hairy man, and that these men were occasionally to be found in the wildest and most inaccessible mountains.”
