Hiker Climbed a Forbidden Mountain… Then Spotted Hundreds of Bigfoot Below

A thirty-year solo climber reaches a summit ridge in Idaho's Selkirk Range before dawn and looks down into a basin he climbed up to photograph. What he finds there is not a herd and not a mystery but, by his own count, two hundred and seventeen upright figures arranged in an assembly he would spend fourteen months trying to explain. This case file covers that count, the three hundred and twelve timestamped frames he has never published, the biologist who could not confirm or rule out what she saw, and the decision he made at eight zero one that morning that he has never reversed. It is a slow, careful record of a man reckoning with a mountain he now believes was never his to claim.
