Why read it?

1 author picked My Quest for the Yeti as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

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.

Brilliantly insightful first-person account!

From Ben's list on Yetis for every age.
