A black hole whose mass is the same as the sun has the same gravitational pull as the sun. It doesn't pull any harder than the sun. It's just that you can get closer to it because it's so small and therefore you experience the gravity more strongly, but you know a brick of mass m and a black hole of mass m, they exert the same gravitational pull.

Worsley thought to himself, "the pity of it all." He remembered the diary he had kept ever since the Endurance had sailed from South Georgia almost seventeen months before. That same diary, wrapped in rags and totally soaked, was now stored in the forepeak of the Caird. When she went, it would go too. Worsley thought not so much of dying, because that was now so planley inevitable, but the fact that one one would ever know how terribly close they had come.
