Mr Fantastic

Wild male Snow Leopard high up in the Tibetan Himalayas. Our base was a village of just 400 people at over 4000 MASL. After a week of trekking through deep snow & ice at altitude, enduring - 30 degrees wind chill, we spotted the tail of a Snow Leopard in the shadows of a cliff face. After a two-hour tough slog up the mountain, we arrived at the entrance to the cave. With my adrenalin pumping I stepped to my right & I met the eyes of a wild Male Snow Leopard, one of the most elusive cats in the world 30 metres away. We had 8 incredible minutes together before he got too shy and disappeared up the mountain. Tenzin my local Tibetan tracker next to me, with tears in his eyes said, "Fantastic". This Snow Leopard now had a name "Mr Fantastic"
