Abominable Snowman Kills Sherpa

Abominable Snowman Kills Sherpa: In 1948, H.W. Tilman, a World War ll British
soldier and now an experienced mountaineer was on an expedition in Nepal. In mid-November, Tilman and other expedition members were huddled around a campfire trying to get warm from the bitter cold and talking among themselves when a Sherpa, Danu, told the group that a friend of his, another Sherpa, had been badly mauled in the face the year before by an Abominable Snowman.
His friend had run downhill from the creature as the Sherpas know they stand a good chance of getting away from one that way. It is thought that the long head hair of the Snowman falls over his face and inhibits his vision when he runs downhill. The Sherpa was making progress when he slipped and fell.
Stunned by the fall, the Sherpa was an easy mark for the pursuing Snowman.
The Sherpa did manage to get away but later died of his facial injuries.

This book is very interesting and a quick read.
