Do not equate mountain climbing and cave diving. One is a nice hobby if done safely and the other is total madness.

Bro, you're missing out. Bro just please squeeze into the 30 cm crevice with me bro. It's so worth it, at the end well even see rocks bro, it will be so cool.

I get disoriented going to the bathroom at night.

Mountain climbing is fun, fairly safe, and good for ya.

Rock climbing though? Yeah miss me with that shit.

Mountain climbing? Maybe.

Cave diving? Nope nope nope, fuck that. Fuck spelunking too if it involves more than crouching a little bit.

Whaaaaaaat? But I just wanted to invite you to the infamous "get stuck here with a friend" cave! It would be so awesome, it would be so cool if you came!

The idea of a “silt out” cave diving is absolutely terrifying to me. That you can accidentally kick up some dust and then you’ll have no idea which way is up or down, that you’ll be flailing around in the water and won’t be able to see anything is nightmarish..

What you're missing out on. (Not that I've gone myself.)

I get vertigo when I'm high up - ain't no way I'm getting within like 2m of an exposed ledge. No sirree, the view is fine from back here thanks

Or getting into helicopters.

Mountain climbing looks fun ngl, cave-diving not so much.

I have an acquaintance that is into going cave diving in Florida. I've seen the pics and nope.

Mountain climbing and rappelling is a blast though. I'll keep my rock climbing relegated to the fun indoor stuff with a good belay.

Sure, but have you considered sinkholes?

And then you pull your back picking up something small, or break your ankle because you stepped funny.

How I sleep listening to cave diving and mountain climbing disasters, knowing I'll never do either one.

I actually sat during lunch with 2 mountaineering record holders when I did my mountaineering training with two record holders who spoke about all the fuckups they had and how one spent the night in a biouvac in a crevasse once and how terrible it was

Just what a guy doing his first mountaineering training needed to hear.. That and on the first day of training you're dumped in the middle of nowhere and told that everyone will fall in a crevasse during the training

I've done both and mostly agree with you but cave diving is something I far more suggest against than mountain climbing which can be rather enjoyable/
