Ian Zagorskikh: Russian powerlifter Andrei Rodichev climbed the Elbrus with a 75-kilogram bar on his shoulders. The entire journey, excluding the week spent on acclimatization, took 8 days. In some places, the speed of the rise dropped to 15 meters per hour, and in the last two days to walk had to be in weather conditions.

Despite all the difficulties and eye burns received, the athlete from the Murmansk region still found himself on the top of the mountain on September 6 at 12:15. Andrei Rodichev decided to leave the stang on the top of Elbrus, as evidenced by a post on his blog: "Now the stang decorates the top of Elbrus and is part of the monument installed on it."
