Disability is not an inability - Sudarshan Gautam

His next aim is to establish a Guinness Book world record of scaling the Everest without arms. When asked the obvious question on how he will climb with no arms, he says to the point, "I'll do it with the help of Sherpas (Nepali-trained mountaineers), teeth and feet. "Mount Yala was technically more challenging. I think with proper training I'll be able to summit the 8,848-metre marvel," he says. "Preparations and training are already underway in the Rockies."

And after that?

"A cross-country drive across Canada where I'll try to meet every possible politician and spread the message that disability is not an inability," he says.
