Like a lot of people, there was a time when my reaction was absolutely "No way" could I do that! But that reaction is a natural self preservation instinct when faced with something you don't know enough about. As you get to know about caving and your capabilities and learn appropriate techniques all this becomes "old hat".

If you think of your "comfort zone" as a bubble... its good to keep stretching the bubble. The trick is not to bust it, but unless you keep stretching it, it will contract to cocoon you into doing nothing!
