Following team leader Yoshiteru Takahashi, seven climbers will spend 50 days on the lower reaches of the 7,661-metre (25,134-ft) Dhaulagiri IV to try and collect evidence of the beast's existence.
Armed with sherpas, cameras and telescopes, Takahashi on his third expedition, hopes to see the elusive man/ape of the mountains. Takahashi became aware of the yeti during a climbing trip to the Dhaulagiri region in 1971, where other climbers said they clearly saw a 5-foot humanoid creature full of gray hair.
Sherpas and climbers often narrate stories about a wild hairy creature roaming the Himalayas. Those tales have captured the imagination of foreign climbers of Mount Everest since the 1920s prompting many, including Everest hero Sir Edmund Hillary, to carry out hunts for the Yeti.
Some climbers even claim to have found Yeti footprints, but no one has yet actually seen it or produced irrefutable proof.
The Japanese will pitch three camps, manned by two researchers each at different elevations and report back to base camp any findings. They will use binoculars during the day and also have long-lens cameras to take pictures at night.
I wonder if they will find anything? | Posted in categories: [Cryptozoology] [Mythical Creatures] | Comments | |
