Stranded Hikers on Mount Emma At 2215 hours, while the Incredible Hulk call was ongoing, the Team received a second request for assistance for a pair of stranded hikers near Mount Emma.

Rescue operations reassigned two team members from rescue base at Mono Village just before they departed into the field on the Hulk call. Field team 1 responded to the end of Little Walker River Road and navigated cross-country to the subject’s reported location.

The subjects were able to move under their own power, and the field team guided them to a nearby pack trail and hiked them out to the trailhead.

The call was terminated at 0311 hours on Sunday, August 3rd.
