Caving can be incredibly fun as well, tight squeezes can come with the territory but there's plenty of horizontal walking/borehole opportunities. It is pretty geographically dependent.
This one always gets me a bit:

I'm wondering if there's not a second entrance or something that sumped and connects, in the US some tracks are a mile or so back but several hours? Sounds significant.
- mrhappyunhappy 8y agoI’m going to have nightmares after seeing that gif. How can these people be ok with that?
- plink 8y agoAlso, does the notion of eventually needing to turn around never stymie them?
- stronglikedan 8y agoThat's why the send the cameraman first.
- riffraff 8y agowhen I was a kid a crawled into half collapsed etruscan tombs often (which in hindsight was not a good idea) and it felt ok but this video gave me instant claustrophobia. It's incredible that people can do this as a hobby :)
- cornellwright 8y agoIt's funny - I've only caved a bit, but I watch that video and think "wow that looks fun." There's something so exciting about getting right up to the edge of what's possible for a human to do.
- atwebb 8y agoI know what you mean, I went through a fairly simple cave except for ~90 feet with 3 90 degree turns in between which required me to be completed stretched out (Superman style) and push with only my toes/fingertips. It was terrifyingly exhilarating.
