Creature in Sherpa folklore (4)

I believe the answer is:

yeti

(Other definitions for yeti that I've seen before include "seeks him in the Himalayas" , "Himalayan wild man" , "that is found in Himalayan mythology" , "Hairy Himalayan humanoid" , "something abominable" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
