Like Greene and Tilman, Smythe was educated at Berkhamsted School, where a heart murmur kept him off the football pitch.

We thought we had reconstructed the position of the 1924 Camp 6 with reasonable accuracy, based on Frank Smythe's account of its rediscovery in 1933 and high-resolution airphotos provided by Swissphoto AG, Zurich.
Personally, I am now inclined to believe that both Norton and Smythe had been accurate, the position of the 1924 Camp 6 therefore having been around 26,800 ft. (8170 m), close to the crest of the North Ridge, around the area where Andy found the old sock and mitten.
Perhaps Frank Smythe had been right when he claimed to have been at about 26,500 ft. (8080 m) before discovering the 1924 Camp 6 "a little higher".

In 1937, British explorer Frank Smythe came out of Tibet with several reports of strange hairy wildmen, said to be the legendary "yeti" that the native Sherpas and Tibetins believe to live in the upper regions of the remote mountain range.
Smythe claimed these creatures did live in the area believed, surviving on grubs, rodents, and the occasional larger animal.
The prints were said to be remarkably human-like, despite their size -- thirteen inches long by five inches wide -- and the stride was such that one foot imprinted its toes in the heel mark of the other.

The valley had always been known to the local people who avoided getting to this area for fear of fairies, who they believed, would take them away.
It was in 1931 that Frank Smythe and Holdsworth stumbled into the valley while returning from their successful Kamet expedition and were “at once transported from a region of solemn austerity to a fairy land of dainty flowers, most of them dwarf but brilliant in colour”.
Smythe wrote about the valley and its flowers - “their carpet is a celestial one, breathing innocence and joy to the world overburdened with sophistication and sorrow”.
