Or getting into helicopters.
Mountain climbing looks fun ngl, cave-diving not so much.
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.
There’s gotta be something wrong with these people. Like real life morbid vore.
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…
If you’re not suicidally stupid you’ll already be holding onto the rope leading to safety with plastic arrows attached every few feet pointing to the exit so you know which way along the rope is out. Never let go of the rope! (You’re usually tied to it also, but ofc you gotta unclip to switch rope or go around an anchor where the rope is attached to the rock)
The rope leads straight into a fresh pile of boulders.
In the case that you have an earthquake or something big enough to cause the cave to collapse yeah you’re just dead. This is also true of rock climbing, or walking over a bridge
Mountain climbing? Maybe.
Cave diving? Nope nope nope, fuck that. Fuck spelunking too if it involves more than crouching a little bit.
You know, when you’re spelunking and you see a tiny little crevice at the bottom and it’s dark and you’re like, wow, could I fit through there? Probably not. Or maybe I could go through, but I can’t get back. Let’s try.
Huur duurrrrrr
What you’re missing out on. (Not that I’ve gone myself.)
I get disoriented going to the bathroom at night.
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.
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
How I sleep listening to cave diving and mountain climbing disasters, knowing I’ll never do either one.
Sure, but have you considered sinkholes?
