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

The fact that I can't tell which one you prefer is fantastic.
I think they're both insanity.
Rock climbing is cool though.
You think rock climbing is cool but can't tell which out of cave diving and mountain climbing is insanity?
And then you pull your back picking up something small, or break your ankle because you stepped funny.
Mountain climbing is fun, fairly safe, and good for ya.
Rock climbing though? Yeah miss me with that shit.
The safety depends entirely on what mountain you're climbing, in what conditions, and with what gear.
True, not talking about Everest. I was just thinking of my own experiences, which usually involve a path of some sort, kept or not. I'm not trying to go where no person has gone before.
You seem like the right person to ask this question...where does "hiking up a mountain" end and "mountain climbing" begin? Is it scrabble-related? A specific incline? Mostly in your heart, maybe?
One is on foot the other involves your hands and if you're not insane rope.
Sure, but have you considered sinkholes?
I get disoriented going to the bathroom at night.
How I sleep listening to cave diving and mountain climbing disasters, knowing I'll never do either one.
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
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/
