  Gritty amputee's unmatched determination  
  BY THE WEEK BUREAU  
 
“Without arms, that will be difficult. But I have a good team and good Sherpas who will help. Some mountainous parts, we will have to pull ourselves with a rope.

 That, I will hold on to with my mouth and teeth,” Sudarshan Gautam, 30, a Nepal-born Canadian who became the world’s first double amputee to climb Everest, had said in one of the interviews to Canadian media before embarking on a near-impossible trip. It’s a record galore on Everest this season, but Gautam’s achievement is no doubt one of the rarest feats.
