In another adult book by a Himalayan adventurer, Messner encountered a creature that he believed could be the Yeti during a 1986 climbing expedition. Hooked on the notion, he then spent 11 years trying to prove the Yeti’s existence, with multiple expeditions through Tibet, Bhutan, India, Nepal, and Ladakh.
