Mountain rescuer David Dooher's challenge was in aid of a cause set up by the late Doddie Weir.
A mountain rescuer has carried a 100kg barbell on his shoulders up Ben Nevis to raise money for motor neurone disease research.The challenge was in aid of My Name'5 Doddie Foundation, a charity set up by former Scotland rugby international Doddie Weir.Ben Nevis is Britain's highest mountain at 1,345m . It took Mr Dooher 16 and a half hours to complete his walk.
Mr Dooher said: "It feels amazing to be finished - very sore and tiring - but amazing."I'd be lying if I said it wasn't tougher than expected, but this wasn't meant to be easy, and there was no greater motivator than who I'm doing this for: Doddie's memory and everyone affected by MND."The 37-year-old completed several mountain climbs to prepare for the challenge.
