Caves scare the hell out of me - I get anxiety just thinking about it!
Come to think of it - I don’t think I have any hobby that borders on scary to anyone ( flying somehow calms me and snaps me to reality tho).
Perhaps I’m just an anxious person, but caving is a nope for me!
- sph 4y agoFree climbing? Though at gun point I'd rather climb without ropes than go caving or cave diving.
- mauvehaus 4y agoFYI: Free climbing is the opposite of aid climbing. I.e you progress upwards only by weighting the rock as opposed to making progress by weighting your gear. Climbing without a partner is soloing. Technically there's aid soloing, which is sort of a weird discipline wherein you're aid climbing without a partner protected by a rope, which is why the kind of climbing Alex Honnold is famous for is called free soloing. Confusingly, there's also rope soloing, which is free climbing with a rope for protection. He did a bunch of rope soloing to practice the pitches he did free solo in the movie of the same name.
- sph 4y agoYeah, I was thinking of Honnold, so I meant free soloing is preferable to caving.
