When British climber David Fletcher decided to explore the remote Hayes group of mountains in Alaska, he was warned about soloing so far from rescue. Never could he have imagined he was about to enter into a battle as fierce as Captain Ahab's with the great whale. This book tells the true story of Fletcher's encounter with the most feared creature in the Alaskan wilderness - a 10-foot high furious mother grizzly bear, whose cub he had accidentally killed in a moment of panic.

David Fletcher is a mountaineer who spent seven years in the Royal Marines, and now lives in Hull, with his family. He tells his elemental story with a stark total recall and an intensity of emotion which defies the reader to put the book down until it is finished.
