10 reasons are better.
#1 We've got too much f*#kin' sh#t.
#2 It's too f*#kin' hot.
#3 It's too f*#kin' cold.
#4 It's too f*#kin' humid.
#5 We don't have enough f*#kin' water.
#6 I have a f*#kin' tapeworm.
#7 I just f*#kin' shat myself.
#8 It's my f*#kin' time of the month (but only if you're a dude).
#9 My f*#kin' pussy hurts.
#10 "It's too windy, it's too cold.
I'm too fat, I'm too old..."

See The Art Of Climbing Down Gracefully by Tom Patey.
But he missed plenty;
mouse turds in the gorp
allergic to choss
cactus spine in a shoe
cactus spine in a finger
cactus spine in a butt
human turds in the gorp
human turds on the rope
family obligations
ambitions to have a family
serious examination of motives
serious examination of genitals
fashion faux pas
only 3 of the 7 voices in your head say continue
out of ammo
and the old standby; "I thought YOU were going to lead that."

This may be shocking to some of you guys, but vaginas are sort of a non-factor on climbs. Like your belly button. You probably don't think about your belly button at all for the entire week or whatever that you're climbing. Same with vaginas. They don't hurt. They are unlikely to come in contact with much sand. Occasionally they bleed, but we learned how to handle that in the 7th grade.
Really, testicles seem way more likely to get worried or wounded in the course of normal events on a big climb.
