Amazing Video Of Bears Climbing A Steep Canyon Wall In Texas

Stephanie Latimer, a nature enthusiast was kayaking at the Big Bend National Park in Texas when she spotted two bears climbing a steep rock wall. A mama bear and its cub were scaling a portion of the Santa Elena Canyon wall. The two are Mexican Black Bears. These are considered as endangered species. The mama bear climbed the wall with ease. However, the cub found some difficulty in scaling it although at the end it was able to climb over and join its mother.

It's an impressive feat and its something that we don't get to see often.What's even more impressive is that these bears, unlike human rock climbers, aren't using ropes and any other gear. There are however human rock climbers who prefer climbing without ropes and gear. And among the most well-known of them is the fearless Alex Honnold.

Is This The Bravest Man In The Universe? Just Watch And Believe.

To call this guy brave would be a huge understatement. Alex Honnold, a professional rock climber takes the definition of courage to a whole new level. As we in the internet world calls it, he's got "great balls of steel". Just recently, he climbed a steep limestone wall in Mexico that rises nearly 2,000 feet. And he did it without ropes and gear. One wrong move and he would've fallen to his death thousands of feet to the ground below.

Watch Alex in action below. Warning: not for the faint of heart.

Just imagine that you are Alex and you are looking down this steep rock wall over a thousand feet above the ground.
