David has raised over £19,000!👏
A man from Uddingston took on a mammoth ascent up Ben Nevis with a 100kg barbell on his back for charity.
He told Glasgow Live: "I like the hill and I like the gym so I thought I'd combine the two. I also wanted to do something that would catch someone's eye, it had to be a proper challenge. It took the fundraiser 16-and-a-half hours to reach the summit. The mountain climber admitted that he and his team were operating off of pure adrenaline throughout their attempt.David said: "It was more difficult than I thought. We started the climb at 7pm because the hill was so busy. Starting at that time was great logistics wise but it meant the team were awake for almost 30 hours.
"The bagpipes playing in the background and the members of the public clapping was the best part for sure. Even walking back down the mountain people were speaking to me about it.
