What's your excuse

Potatoes don't climb

I don't have $100.000 to spare for this.

1. A large financial burden (and money raised would be better spent on improving a community or a cause).
2. Huge number of resources wasted between training, transport, and food/fuel costs.
3. I don't want to increase my carbon footprint by dozens of metric tonnes just for bragging rights.
Good on that guy for pushing past a disability, but I'm not a fan of such waste in general.

I don't have metal legs.

Laziness. I know exactly what my issue is.

He couldn't actually make his descent, a Sherpa had to carry him

Actually, having removed limbs might be helpful because the people's temperatures tend to be higher with the loss of the extra blood circulation room.

No money for the trip (and other things) and I'm a lazy person *crawls under covers*

Well he has metal legs. His legs can't hurt. So that is a valid excuse

Your legs can't hurt if you don't have any!
