Climbers claim photos of Yeti footprints

A group of Japanese mountaineers claim to have photographed footprints of the legendary Yeti that they believe could prove the long-rumoured existence of a giant ape living in the Himalayan peaks.

The team of seven Japanese mountaineers spent 42 days on the slopes of Mount Dhaulagiri in northern Nepal, said Kuniaki Yagihara, from Maebashi, Japan.
