Spelunking / Rock ClimbingSpelunking is the recreational sport of exploring wild caves. Rock climbing is a sport in which participants climb up or across natural rock formations or man-made rock walls.
I'm not afraid of the dark, but the idea of being in a cave without a light scares me. Not being able to get an idea of what I was facing would be claustrophobic for me.
I'm not afraid of the dark, but it throws off my balance. As long as there is enough light to make out basic shapes, I'm okay. Total darkness is a different story.
I have niece who was absolutely terrified of the swamp behind the house where we stay on an island we go to. We have spent many a night staying up all night with her because she's afraid of the swamp monsters.
