Yeti expedition

Yeti expedition

In 1960–61 Hillary led another expedition to Nepal to do climbing and altitude research and look (unsuccessfully) for the mythical yeti – sometimes called the Abominable Snowman. At a press conference before departing, he showed the press an artist’s impression of the yeti, together with some of the equipment to be used on the trip.
