A determined powerlifter has reached the top of Europe's highest summit - while carrying a giant barbell across his shoulders.

Andrew Rodichev became the first person ever to climb Mount Elbrus in Russia while carrying the 75kg weight.

Such a weight would be impressive for someone to bench press in the gym, but Andrew, 32, took things a step further, tackling the gruelling three-week-long challenge.

The peak of Mount Elbrus is 18,501ft high and is a challenge to even the most seasoned of mountaineers due to its harsh conditions.
