Description: SCP-ES-288 refers to a humanoid entity of indeterminate gender and ethnicity. It carries a parka, a windbreaker and a mountain backpack. Inside the mountain backpack are supplies and mountaineering equipment.

SCP-ES-288 will manifest in the event multiple conditions are met, among which are included:

1. Being in a mountain or a place with a snowy climate.
2. A person at minimum must be present, the known maximum is 4 individuals.
3. All individuals must have a serious injury and/or suffering from hypothermia.
4. Individuals must be disoriented.

If these conditions remain, SCP-ES-288 will manifest. It will then guide the subjects towards the nearest campsites or any potential safe location. Once this is accomplished, SCP-ES-288 will demanifest.

SCP-ES-288 is a tangible entity, however, its footprints are not recorded in the snow. SCP-ES-288 does not seem to be capable of speech, or at least it has not been sighted doing so, since when mountaineers ask SCP-ES-288 questions it does not answer or makes gestures with its arms.

SCP-ES-288 has not acquired any hostile attitude towards any climber. However, if the climber reacts violently towards SCP-ES-288 it will dematerialize leaving the individual alone. However, this is not very common since individuals don't seem to be surprised by the presence of SCP-ES-288, and treat it naturally.

The first sighting of SCP-ES-288 occurred in 1914, in the South Georgia Islands, when explorer ███ ████ ██████ was in the area.
