An experienced skier took off suddenly down a mountainside, seemingly frightened of something. He was with 20 other people on a climbing expedition, but they had gone down ahead of him. And this instance was the last time the experienced skier was ever seen. Does his disappearance have something to do with the Giant Ape attacks in the area way back in 1924? The only thing left was his discarded film box.
