Crowd sourcing on a Friday: Developing a new crag in my area, the Excuses Walls (now on hold for the winter). All routes are/will be named for real, actually-happened excuses why someone bailed on going climbing.
What do ya got?
This is the only route completed thus far, Groin Irritation, 10.a. (A buddy told me he couldn't climb cuz the day before he'd gone for a run and irritated his groin; thanks, buddy!)

"Spin cycle" - I bailed when I couldn't handle my alcohol from the night before. The world was spinning that whole morning.

Hemorrhoids!
Its a good excuse, and none of your partners will ever ask you to "show" your Hemorrhoids to them.
