    To the op’s question; they can all climb trees, but black bear are more suited to, grizzly cubs as well, just grizzly adults have a tougher time. Either way, they can all move extremely quick with the agility of a rabbit. I’ve watched them shoot up a tree, cross rapids, rip logs apart, roll huge boulders on slopes and run like Usain Bolt.

    Grizzly bears can climb trees they avoid climbing trees at most times but if they want to get up a tree they can specially if if there is game animals hanging on a meat pole..
    Hunting Elk Is All About Finding Them ,If You Can't Find Them Keep Trying ..

    Fully agree. It's light brown but the head shape & no prominent shoulder hump are a giveaway.

    There is no way an adult grizz could climb up and down a tree that fast.

    Here's a recent example of an adult grizz climbing ability.

    A black bear successfully escapes up a tree from a running grizz in Glacier National Park.
    Grizz is much larger & a poor tree climber.

    Hmm IMO it is a brown phased black bear.not one characteristic of it being a grizzly.
    In the 1970 Era near Big White Kelowna..Mr.Henry May was chased up a pretty damn tall tree by a grizzly bear.there was a pretty amazing photo of the bear way up the tree being kicked I the snout by Mr.May's boots.
    What was even more amazing is the bear climbed the tree it did not go up the tree by using the branches Henry did..just scooted up the tree..it was in Kelowna Courier paper.
    This bear gave us lots of angles and plenty of views..black bear.
    Seen blacks climb trees same speed as this bugger.
    Bears are fast..seen bears bust through thick undergrowth as if was flat open ground..in Kwatna Bay.

    All bears can climb trees. Black bears have to or they get eaten. Grizzlies do because they are young and about to get eaten or old and pissed off and want to eat you. They all run faster than you think they can up hill or down hill. They are all scary when when they are in your face but grizzlies are more Freddy Kruger than black bears. Personally, I prefer encounters with Koala bears stoned on eucalyptus. That’s all I got from 20+ years in the bush.

    Looks like a grizzly. Grizzly or not, the speed and agility is unbelievable.
    Not only do they look like black bears, It's on youtube being presented as black bears. They're black bears.
