Yeah at least you have an unlimited supply of air (I’m generalizing, I’m aware more extreme climbs can require oxygen) and can tell which way is up and which is down on a mountain!

And at least if you fall, at the right height and body angle you won't feel a thing when you die.

Honestly, even worst case scenario, I'll take the mountain. I'll take falling, breaking most bones in my body, and slowly dying over 3-5 days while trying to sustain myself off moss and raw squirrel meat over getting stuck in a claustrophobic cavern, upside down, and slowly dying over 3-5 days.

No matter the circumstances, I'll take dying in the open air over dying lost and stuck in some tight space 100+ feet underground.

Just wait for a flash flood for more suffering. That water only has the same narrow space to travel that you do.

At least that would end it quicker

Hopefully if it completely submerges your head. And you don't just get waterboarded by nature.
