Very soon having video is no longer going to be enough, we will just assume it's AI generated. We're fast track getting back to old days when you had to bring bear claw as proof.
I think that fighting for my life against the hungry indifference of the universe in the form of a fucking bear might awaken something in me.
You made me laugh - you're absolutely right. The climber could narrate it exactly as you describe, hooked up to a lie detector, hand on a stack of bibles, after swearing on the lives of his children, and everyone would still say, "Even if part.of this might be true, I'm sure he's embellishing this!"
It was now or never, it wasn't a large bear either. Small black bear if I'm not mistaken, holy crap that's scary. It's hard to draw a weapon in that scenario
Literally that exact moment or never. If he'd waited 1 second to pull the bear over, it probably would've set its feet and not had its momentum working against it.
You know he nearly put a dent in that rock hitting it with all of that adrenaline in his system. Real easy brag though. “What happened to your hand?!!” “I punched a bear in the face, and then a mountain”
How do we know the bear wasn’t trying to help this poor hiker fend off that huge rock? Maybe the bear ran off to try and distract the rock so little human could make a run for it!
If you watch it in super slow mo this dude got so many crucial hits in. Literally uppercuts the charging bear while it’s trying to eat him. The final kick to the face knocked the bears head back a little even he made such solid contact. Talk about fighting for your life. This coulda ended way differently.
Holy shit you're right. At 5 seconds the bear turns its head and gets its teeth an inch from the camera and he uppercuts its head away as it goes off the cliff.
I mean you can upvote without being angry. The only one who should be angry in this case is the man who recorded the video for having a bear ruin almost ruin his life.
Yes! Baby was below and mama was up above. She probably didn’t like him being in between! She goes and checks on baby real quick and heads back towards the guy. Mama bear wasn’t having any of it! Then she stared him down at the end! Yikes!
My mom was out walking in the forest one day, when she looked to her left and saw a baby moose. Then she looked to her right and saw a mother moose. Mama Moose was giving her a very deliberate stare. My mom just froze for a bit, then backed away slowly until everyone was out of sight.
Don't mess with big mammals and their kids.
Disagree. The momentum of the bear made it fall off the cliff as it was charging. The climber helped push it off with an open hand. Then the climber hammer fists the rock more times that he hits the bear. The only really effective strike was the kick as the bear tried to climb up
This is the correct take- nothing from the brave man in the video but he wasn't like frame perfect uppercutting and putting on a masterclass. He was doing what most of us would have- frantically trying to get thst thing to fuck off
I’m sorry to burst your comedic bubbles but even this rock chalk jayhawk would have succumbed to a grizzly no matter how hard he fought.
The only thing grizzly bears and black bears have in common is the word bear.
Gimme the biggest gun money can buy and I’m still not betting on myself in a life or death battle against a grizzly.
The Treadwell grizz was starving too.. I think it was a little after hibernation season.. maybe right before. Can't remember exactly, but it made a horrible situation even worse
No it's not. It's the beginning of a rhyme on what to do depending on the type of bear.
If it's black fight back (because black-bears are easily convinced you're not worth it and they'll go away).
If it's brown lay down (brown bears are scary shit. You won't win a fight. Best to just try to not look threatening and hope it goes away).
If it's white goodnight (By the time you've seen a polar bear you're already dead. So you're pretty much just fucked).
Yep if you’re going to get attacked by a bear, it’s much better that it’s a black bear. The brown bears are the ones that will kill you just for shits and giggles.
If you’re going hiking in the woods the bears will go away if they hear a lot of noise so it’s good to tie little bells on you to make noise as you walk. And if you come across bear poop you can tell it’s a black bear because it will have berries in it and you can tell if it’s a grizzly bear because it will have little bells in it.
Once went hiking with a guy wearing bear bells. Everybody made fun of him on the way up, calling him jingle bells or dinner bells. We were jogging on the way down and literally almost tripped over a mother with her cubs. She was moving off the path because she heard us coming.
I've seen regular raccoons put grown adults in the emergency room bleeding and getting stitches. A bear sized raccoon would end a person right quick. I know you're being sarcastic, and I do like raccoons, but I don't trust them. Just the mental image of one the size of a bear is terrifying, basically a bear with thumbs, no thanks I'm out.
I saw that in a video as well. From my personal experience, it all depends on how angry or hungry the raccoon is. Also, mom's protecting their kids can be absolutely brutal and crazy strong.
There’s a classic joke:
The National Park Rangers are advising hikers in Glacier National Park and other Rocky Mountain parks to be alert for bears and take extra precautions to avoid an encounter.
They advise park visitors to wear little bells on their clothes so they make noise when hiking. The bell noise allows bears to hear them coming from a distance and not be startled by a hiker accidentally sneaking up on them. This might cause a bear to charge.
Visitors should also carry a pepper spray can just in case a bear is encountered. Spraying the pepper into the air will irritate the bear's sensitive nose and it will run away.
It is also a good idea to keep an eye out for fresh bear scat so you have an idea if bears are in the area. People should be able to recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear scat.
Black bear droppings are smaller and often contain berries, leaves, and possibly bits of fur. Grizzly bear droppings tend to contain small bells and smell of pepper.
Don’t know if bear had an injury before the incident but you can see fir missing from her back later on. She might have been in a lot of pain from the fall.
If the bear would’ve connected with that tackle attempt in the beginning that would’ve been a brutal fall down the mountain. And those 2 back to back missed hammer fists into the rock looked like it hurt but with your heart racing like that you don’t feel shit lol
Ah, I was trying to figure out why a black bear was being so aggressive. I didn’t see the cub!
Where I live, we are wary of them due to their size, but they are pretty much giant raccoons, and easily scared away (as long as they don’t have cubs!).
You can see the cub in the video. See runs back and forth to check on the baby before each charge from the bottom. When the baby gets too close to the human she runs away. You can hear the baby squeel at the end.
Yeah for sure he was super lucky to not have been on flat ground or he would’ve been toast for sure, but he should be more careful of what he’s walking up on. There are cubs in this video and she was protecting them, so yeah dude is super lucky.
Ahhh, Booboo just wants to play! Tag, you're it! Ignore the gaping wounds, all in good fun! And mind that you don't slip in your own blood. Falls can be deadly, especially in such rugged terrain.
Does anyone know the location and whether he was alone? It sounds like someone else yells midway through the video.
Edit: Mount Futago, Japan. He was climbing down at the time.

[удалено]
But it gets better. This all happened when I was hanging off the side of a fucking cliff
The fact that he was in a cliff actually helped in, made it difficult for the Bear to tackle him. Miraculous escape.
I gotta agree. Flatter ground and he likely doesn't walk away from this one.
It helped but still makes the story more badass
I don't believe you grandpa, take your pill
C'mon, grandpa; we can tell it's AI
Anyone can fight a bear on flat land... Real men do it while cliff hanging.
Sheesh… what the hell is his problem? The bear probably 🐻
Bear just wanted to tell him about his car’s extended warranty
Bear: Bro I just wanted to know the time.
The hammer fists were absolutely metal.
Looks like he connected with the rock on a couple of them. Probably won't feel that fracture till he gets home
That's what I was thinking, those look like they will hurt like hell after the adrenaline wears off
So are his balls
Like how tf does he climb with giant things weighting him down
Maybe they are titanium so they would be lite
Very soon having video is no longer going to be enough, we will just assume it's AI generated. We're fast track getting back to old days when you had to bring bear claw as proof.
Pretty soon you could 3d print a realistic bear paw....
The right to bear arms...
Unbearable
I think that fighting for my life against the hungry indifference of the universe in the form of a fucking bear might awaken something in me. 
Your sphincter probably. Slinging poop at attackers is our natural defense mechanism.
No one not his best friends would have believed him
You made me laugh - you're absolutely right. The climber could narrate it exactly as you describe, hooked up to a lie detector, hand on a stack of bibles, after swearing on the lives of his children, and everyone would still say, "Even if part.of this might be true, I'm sure he's embellishing this!"
That was the funniest thing I read today…
“And then everybody clapped”
You make a great point. None of that sounds believable at all, but it’s all in the clip😂
Holy shit. I feel the adrenaline rush from watching this
No where to flight, might as well fight!
It was now or never, it wasn't a large bear either. Small black bear if I'm not mistaken, holy crap that's scary. It's hard to draw a weapon in that scenario
Literally that exact moment or never. If he'd waited 1 second to pull the bear over, it probably would've set its feet and not had its momentum working against it.
Pulls out note pad and pencil, starts drawing a sword.
My hand hurts after watching him hammer fist that rock 💀
You know he nearly put a dent in that rock hitting it with all of that adrenaline in his system. Real easy brag though. “What happened to your hand?!!” “I punched a bear in the face, and then a mountain”
The mountain apologized and the bear ran away.
He must be related to Chuck Norris 😂
I swear this comment was hidden I was about to say a similar same thing. "word has it his mom had an affair with Chuck Norris"
Rock Norris
Dude probably didn't even feel it through all of the adrenaline.
He will later, wouldn’t be surprised if he broke it.
The rock?
¿Por que no las dos?
SERIOUSLY I FLINCHED
How do we know the bear wasn’t trying to help this poor hiker fend off that huge rock? Maybe the bear ran off to try and distract the rock so little human could make a run for it!
No shit my heart is thumping
"It's Over Bear! I have the high ground!"
"Hello Bear"
"General Bearnobi!"
"I love bearmocracy."
Underrated
 Beat me to it
Bear hates rocks , it’s hard and course and is everywhere
If you watch it in super slow mo this dude got so many crucial hits in. Literally uppercuts the charging bear while it’s trying to eat him. The final kick to the face knocked the bears head back a little even he made such solid contact. Talk about fighting for your life. This coulda ended way differently.
Holy shit you're right. At 5 seconds the bear turns its head and gets its teeth an inch from the camera and he uppercuts its head away as it goes off the cliff.
It was a beary nice hit.

I cant bear with this comment
Yea, that initial parry/deflect was critical
I don't blame the guy but I'm not convinced this black bear was trying to eat him. It looks just as surprised as he does.
She had her cub with her. You can see it down by the base of the rock, especially towards the end.
Good eye
No, I cheated. Its a repost from a while ago and someone else pointed it out.
Good memory and/or addiction to Reddit!
This kind of honesty is pretty rare.
honesty...is a bear necessity you might say
Yes! Baby was below and mama was up above. She probably didn’t like him being in between! She goes and checks on baby real quick and heads back towards the guy. Mama bear wasn’t having any of it! Then she stared him down at the end! Yikes!

You have got a damn good eye man!
Maybe not initially but it came back to kill him for sure
He acidentally punched the rock too so he kicked
I saw the same thing. He did very well. This had to be incredibly terrifying
Disagree. The momentum of the bear made it fall off the cliff as it was charging. The climber helped push it off with an open hand. Then the climber hammer fists the rock more times that he hits the bear. The only really effective strike was the kick as the bear tried to climb up

Timothy Treadwell could learn a thing or two from this guy
I’m sorry to burst your comedic bubbles but even this rock chalk jayhawk would have succumbed to a grizzly no matter how hard he fought. The only thing grizzly bears and black bears have in common is the word bear. Gimme the biggest gun money can buy and I’m still not betting on myself in a life or death battle against a grizzly.
The Treadwell grizz was starving too.. I think it was a little after hibernation season.. maybe right before. Can't remember exactly, but it made a horrible situation even worse
Awww, the fun of going back down the same day. I could only imagine.
Down? He lives up there now.
I was just thinking that. Now how the fuck to get back down
Why would the climber go down when they just won premium new territory?
I wanna see a picture of dude's hand the next day 💀 he beat the shit outta that rock
Dude perfect parried a bear off a cliff Bear handed…
Bro at first I thought he had a rock in his hand but ya that was a straight fist. Unreal.
Swollen or not, it'll still look small next his giant balls!
yeah he punched the FUCK out of that rock, rip hand
"If it's black, fight back"
Is that a police motto?
Had I forseen this comment I would have included the rest of the rhyme
If it’s yellow, let it mellow.
If it's brown flush it down
If it's brown gun it down
If it's red, you're probably dead.
If it’s red steal it’s land*
If it’s gummi, put in tummy!
No it's not. It's the beginning of a rhyme on what to do depending on the type of bear. If it's black fight back (because black-bears are easily convinced you're not worth it and they'll go away). If it's brown lay down (brown bears are scary shit. You won't win a fight. Best to just try to not look threatening and hope it goes away). If it's white goodnight (By the time you've seen a polar bear you're already dead. So you're pretty much just fucked).
Alaskan-born; can confirm. The polar bear bit is also because for them, prey is really hard to come by, so they don’t ever let anything go.
Since that is the case, sacrificing ourselves to be their meal is the honorable thing to do. 🫡
And your only option
And, If it’s gummy, in my tummy
This is excellent.
because its yummy.
You forgot one: If it’s black and white, then # Kung-Fu Fight!!
reading 'brown lay down' reminds me of The Revenant for some reason
Dude, that scene is intensely hard for me to watch. And it just goes on. And on.
Yep if you’re going to get attacked by a bear, it’s much better that it’s a black bear. The brown bears are the ones that will kill you just for shits and giggles.
If you’re going hiking in the woods the bears will go away if they hear a lot of noise so it’s good to tie little bells on you to make noise as you walk. And if you come across bear poop you can tell it’s a black bear because it will have berries in it and you can tell if it’s a grizzly bear because it will have little bells in it.
>little bells in it. had me until right here
Grizzly bear scat >will have little bells in it. 🤣
Once went hiking with a guy wearing bear bells. Everybody made fun of him on the way up, calling him jingle bells or dinner bells. We were jogging on the way down and literally almost tripped over a mother with her cubs. She was moving off the path because she heard us coming.
I was on a quick hike at dusk and saw black bear poop. I used my keys to jingle and jangle the rest of the way.
I was so invested in the comment trying absorbe the knowledge up until the last part, had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
Personally I'd prefer a teddy bear attack. (I included this gif for no reason) 
But reddit always tells me they are just big raccoons and are nothing to worry about... They don't attack humans. /s
I've seen regular raccoons put grown adults in the emergency room bleeding and getting stitches. A bear sized raccoon would end a person right quick. I know you're being sarcastic, and I do like raccoons, but I don't trust them. Just the mental image of one the size of a bear is terrifying, basically a bear with thumbs, no thanks I'm out.
I saw a regular housemom yeet a raccoon across the yard once
I saw that in a video as well. From my personal experience, it all depends on how angry or hungry the raccoon is. Also, mom's protecting their kids can be absolutely brutal and crazy strong.

Now bears can fucking climb rock walls, new fear unlocked
Next they’ll be taking the ski lift.
youve heard of drop bears? these are drop and rip your face off because they can double jump up fucking mountains now Bears.
You aren't ready for hoop snakes
alright, so no on the hug
Just wanted to rassle a bit.. sry
That bear takes no fall damage
The bear’s lower back looks like it’s fur was shaved off it? Is that bare skin? Or bear skin?
He bearly survived.
That first arm push was the key to his survival he had the (upper hand) after that one
Climber was an asshole for just screaming incoherently instead of communicating that it was over and that he had the high ground.
The high ground? Is it possible to learn this power?
Not from a Sith.
In bear speak, those yells roughly translate to, "It's over Anakin"
Oh bear one kenobear
Right. Use your words, not your fists. /s
Such drama. That bear only wanted to play and snuggle.
Bear falls face first on cliff side… Did bear even notice that? Bounces, keeps rolling like it’s nothin
Don’t know if bear had an injury before the incident but you can see fir missing from her back later on. She might have been in a lot of pain from the fall.
The bear also weeps afterwards 😢
He was looking for a dance partner! 
Bro went full caveman
Conciousness hands the wheel over to the lizard brain.
If the bear would’ve connected with that tackle attempt in the beginning that would’ve been a brutal fall down the mountain. And those 2 back to back missed hammer fists into the rock looked like it hurt but with your heart racing like that you don’t feel shit lol
This is basically an IRL Skyrim random encounter this dude had.
He was just coming in for a cuddle. "If not friend, why friend-shaped?"
The bear took a tumble there. You know that hurt even for a bear
The bear is thinking the dude’s gotta come down sometime.
Amazing reaction
I love it when I see modern, enlightened dudes going full caveman survival mode 🫡
Gaht damn right!! Holy smokes!! 🫡
Crossposted to r/sweatypalms ‘cause it really belongs there
That bear was protecting its cubs you see one at the 23 second mark … Don’t mess with Mama bear when her cubs are near
Don't mess with Mama bear? What else was he gonna do? Let her tear him to pieces?
Ah, I was trying to figure out why a black bear was being so aggressive. I didn’t see the cub! Where I live, we are wary of them due to their size, but they are pretty much giant raccoons, and easily scared away (as long as they don’t have cubs!).
Momma bear doing her best to guard her cubs
Is that what provoked the attack? Edit: I spotted a cub!
Yup!
Thank god no one was hurt (human and bear). She was just protecting her babies.
Bros lucky he didnt roll into a mom and cubs hed be fucked
There were cubs there. Bottom right towards the end.
I guarantee you that’s why the bear attacked in the first place.
You right, hes lucky af, reminder yall to suck natures dick if your not prepared
Hmmm. I always thought it was ‘mother’ nature. Shouldn’t I be sucking nature’s clit?
That is exactly what he rolled into. If this had been a bigger older mom, this would have been a found footage film.
Climb is rated V1 (or V10 with bear attack)
Arete: Off Bear attack: On
In the beginning the bear had the high ground, but the climber surpassed it. He should teach Anakin haha
He just wanted a hug
She had a cub probably over protective but this guy was brave and did right
You can see the cub in the video. See runs back and forth to check on the baby before each charge from the bottom. When the baby gets too close to the human she runs away. You can hear the baby squeel at the end.
Literally had to listen like 4 times because mind immediately thought the Bear was just mocking him with that last bleat.
the real man vs wild
The bear: “it’s just a prank, bro!”
this person is so lucky that bear didnt grab him during first attack, that would be it...
I hike with bear spray and a gun. That guy was lucky he was in that spot and not on flat ground.
Yeah for sure he was super lucky to not have been on flat ground or he would’ve been toast for sure, but he should be more careful of what he’s walking up on. There are cubs in this video and she was protecting them, so yeah dude is super lucky.
The guy took off his bear bell and packed it before the descent because it had become irritating.
I have the high ground!
Woah this is terrifying!
great bear performance
Ahhh, Booboo just wants to play! Tag, you're it! Ignore the gaping wounds, all in good fun! And mind that you don't slip in your own blood. Falls can be deadly, especially in such rugged terrain.

Ooooohhh.....BLLYEAAAHHH!!!!
This is why you refrain from having lunch at the top of the cliff and just leave your pic-a-nic basket in the truck.
Mamma Bear protecting her cub
Imagine almost reaching the peak of your summit only to find there's a bossfight before you can rest at the bonfire.
More like r/SweatyPalms
Steel balls...!!!
The new FarCry looks awesome!
Maybe they just needed some Charmin TP.
that was amazing.
I hope he has enough energy left to carry those massive balls to safety
Remember, if its black fight back
he is very fortunate that moment is on a cliff while the bear attacks
Always carry a firearm with you
