The mountain counterpart to Sasquatch: a heavy-set bipedal primate of the high snowfields, known to Sherpa communities long before Western expeditions borrowed the story. The name 'Abominable Snowman' is a 1921 mistranslation that the archive uses only under protest.
The physical evidence file is dominated by tracks: Eric Shipton's 1951 photographs on the Menlung Glacier remain the most argued-over images in cryptozoology — crisp prints, 13 inches, with a divergent toe, photographed beside an ice axe for scale at 5,800 meters, hours from anywhere a hoaxer could plausibly have been. Monastery relics attributed to the yeti have tested as bear and serow; the tracks have never been satisfactorily closed.
Sherpa accounts describe a whistling call, an acrid smell, and a firm rule the archive endorses: if you hear it, you do not go and look.
