Mountain Climbing Bear Encounter

A mountain climber was making his way down the rock ridge of Mt. Nishidake near Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture, Japan, with an attached GoPro camera. He didn't see the bears, but mama bear saw him descending toward her cub, so she went into attack mode and surprised him from behind. The climber, who does not give his name, immediately began screaming, kicking, and using a Hammer Fist. It could have ended much worse, but the mama bear fell and ran to her cub. The climber, now full of adrenaline, climbed back up to put some distance between himself and the bear, and to get a better view of where she might have gone. This happened on October first. He may still be there. -via reddit
