An Invictus Games champion has become the first double above-the-knee amputee to scale the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro unaided.

A British army hero has become the first military double amputee to reach the top of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Private James Rose, 32, of 2 YORKS, had both legs blown off by an undetected riverside IED during a foot patrol in Afghanistan in 2009.

Despite suffering from PTSD since the attack, the injured vet threw himself into competitive sports including rowing and hand-cycling.

This footage was filmed on September 14.
