What is the absolute last extreme sport you'd be willing to try? (lemm.ee)

Personally I'd say cave diving. I was contemplating between that and free ~~climbing~~ soloing but I honestly rather fall to my death than drown in a claustrophobic, dark, cold, silted up cave.

Three years ago, I broke my leg free climbing. It took two and a half years of physical therapy to get back to maybe 80% of what it used to be, and now I have a permanent metal plate. I was lucky it wasn't any worse.

I don't think I'll ever free climb again, it's just not worth it. However, I also would never do cave diving.

That'll teach you to be cheap. Next time, pay a fair price for your climbing.

(Seriously though, that sucks and I'm glad it didn't end even worse!)

Curious what happened? Shitty catch from your belayer and decked? Piece of pro popped and decked? Or just a big whip in a bad place or with a bad slam?
