Man climbs Kilamanjaro using only his hands...

I am guilty of uttering all of those, but then I read an article today that made me blush in shame for all the 'I cant's' I have ever uttered.

I'm sure we have all had one of those days. "My back hurts, I cant go to gym!" "I had such a hectic work day, I cant even think about playing squash" and, my personal favourite, "I cant possibly swim now, Ive just washed my hair!"

Spencer West, a double amputee, having both of his legs removed from his pelvis when he was five, has successfully summited Mount Kilimanjaro. Using only his hands.

For those of you who don't know, that's about 19,300 feet and about 20 000 steps.

ABC News quotes Spencer as saying "To use myself as an example – that if I enter life without legs and climb the largest mountain in Africa and overcome that challenge, what more can you do in your daily lives to define what's possible for you?" he asked. "We all have the ability to redefine what is possible -- whether you're missing your legs or not. Everyone has challenges and challenges can be overcome."

 So whats your excuse?
