    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…

      I’m not going to pretend mine is worse, just my legs want to jump as soon as they get near a cliff ledge. i did a little bit of cliff diving when i was younger and it’s fun as hell. so my legs want to jump without looking if the water is safe below. or if there’s water at all. it scares the shit out of me.

      like literally a little bit of shit comes out.

    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

    My son thought this too and then I took him to do these things. Except by cave diving I mean jumping off a waterfall in a cave. He wasn’t thrilled when I handed him the ice axe.
