The cub has a pretty good hold on those crimps, but should really work on his footwork. Mom totally left him in the dust.

I think I heard the smaller bear grumble "tall bear beta".

I'm ashamed that the bears have better technique than I do...

I see your cliff bear and raise you a wall goat.

In a few hundred thousand years, we'd see those bears evolved into cliff bears. Running and climbing up and down the cliff faces.

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Now I might finally plan a backpacking trip to Big Bend (I feel guilty for not having done so in the three(ish) years I've been in Austin. Lone Star Hiking Trail may have to wait as a priority now.

"Who says bears can't climb?"

Does anyone? Bears are excellent climbers.
