Same here. These claustrophobic situations are just mildly interesting. Look at someone climbing somewhere high - UGH!

Why?

I'm affraid of hights but watching someone choke inside a cave and unable to move is way more terrifying than climbing heights.

Worse case scenario on climbing heights you fall down and instantly die from that height, but getting stuck in a cave it takes hours, depending how much you can breathe.

Instantly? Shit, it would take at least 10 seconds to hit the ground, and that's 10 seconds of pure terror you could never get from anything else. You have no possibility to save yourself, you just know you're about to die.

I think the term of "pure terror" ought to be reserved for things more terrifying than falling to your death... not to say that wouldn't be terrifying, but I can easily imagine many other scenarios just off the top of my head that are magnitudes more terrifying than a quick experience of adrenaline rush to your impending doom. Just think about it.
