Nick Bullock

Nick Bullock and Greg Boswell are attacked by a grizzly bear on Mount Wilson in the Canadian Rockies.

"Exploding pieces of metal hit me like bullets. I’m dropping through swift jerks of ripping gear. All of the protection pulls... except for one wire behind a wobbling spike." (From 2010.)

Insecure rock climber (and badass alpinist) Nick Bullock gets a little perspective on an everyday trip to his local crag.

“Just another 40 feet, Nick. You’re doing great. I reckon you’re higher than Leo Houlding was before he fell off and hit the ground.”
