I've done a lot of things in my life including some climbing. Some of the things I've done I did because I wanted to and some because I wanted to see if I could. All of it has to do with living. Everyone wants to live but few people really do live. Most just watch.
Granted, if you are a parent, you owe it to your children not to do anything dangerous enough to kill you unless you have to.
Climbing, like so many other inherently dangerous sports is done for the experience of doing it. But, as a wise man once said,: Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
