The British mountaineers have photographed and measured its tracks. The first European to report the mysterious tracks was the first Everester of them all, Lt. Col. C[harles] K[enneth] Howard-Bury. He startled British scientists in 1921 with the news that his expedition had discovered at 21,000 feet "the track of what was probably a large, loping gray wolf, which had tracks very like those of a barefooted man." en w:Gardner Soule Young Doctor Tackles ‘The Unclimbable Peak’: New Englander Leads Team of Americans against Perils of Second-highest Mountain Volta Torrey w:Popular Science New York, N.Y.

It made the upper slopes look impossibly steep. We called it our 'horror photograph', and it was produced whenever one of the party became too optimistic. After perusing it for a while, even the most enthusiastic Everester tended to develop the attitude of: 'Let's go and find we can't climb it! Then we can go away and get down to some really enjoyable exploration!' en w:Patrick French Running the Jog and Climbing Mount Everest https://books.google.com/books?id=ENfKlCIqAxoC&pg=PT436 Younghusband: The Last Great Imperial Adventurer London w:HarperCollins 1994 978-0-00-215733-9 So it was that the myth was born of the Everesters, those lithe and romantic young Englishmen with their Chamonix caps, thick tweed coats and stout walking boots, who pitted their wits and their character against Chomolungma, the Goddess Mother of the World. en Dilaram Shabab The Changing Profile Kullu: Himalayan Abode of the Divine New Delhi M.
