Mountains Climbing

Wednesday, November 29, 2006

The Incredible Hulk is one of the best alpine rock climbing formations I have ever climbed on. The rock is comprised of clean compact granite that rivals many of the routes found in Yosemite Valley. The Hulk host many challenging routes for the advanced rock climber, including the Red Dihedral and Positive Vibrations which are the two moderate lines on the main face. The Hulk is located in the Sawtooth Range of the Sierra Nevada mountains which is located just outside of the town of Bridgeport, CA. The approach is moderate compared to many backcountry formations in the Sierras taking only about three and a half hours. The formation itself is over 1000 feet in height and offers between 8-12 pitches of climbing. Standing at the base of positive vibrations, I believed the climb would be done in no time.
