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.
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?
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!)
