Steve Berry – “In search of the Yeti”
Tuesday 17 October 2017, 07:30pm
Contact Tony Westcott
Tuesday 17 October 2017

Steve first went to Bhutan in 1986 when he luckily obtained a permit to climb their highest mountain, Gangkar Punsum, 24,770ft / 7,550m.  The team reached very high but were defeated by the weather or the gods, or a combination of them both.   Steve has been back many times exploring around the base and for the last four years he has found strange footsteps in the snow.   He believes there is a large mountain ape living up there that we humans rarely ever see, and have mistakenly dubbed as half human, half Neanderthal. In April this year he returned with an American film crew to continue the search.
