Yeti

Omtale

Graham Hoyland, the Everest climber who was responsible for finding the body of George Mallory on the mountain, has another quest. On a recent expedition to the remote Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan he discovered and filmed footprints of the mythical Yeti.In Yeti Hoyland details his day-by-day quest for this fabled animal in the company of Steve Berry, another explorer who has seen footprints on three previous occasions and who is unshakeable in his belief in the creature’s existence. They searched in a lost valley near the unclimbed mountain Gangkar Punsum, which Steve attempted to climb in the 80s. In this valley Graham found evidence of the Yeti, a beast so unspeakably powerful that locals says it can kill a yak with one blow of its fist. The Yeti has curious parallels with the Bigfoot in the US, so Hoyland takes us on his searches of the lonely forests of the Pacific Coast. What leads mankind to the belief in monsters, and what happens when he is confronted with the brutal creature of his nightmares?
