Andrey Rodichev, who is a famous athlete-powerlifter, set an unprecedented record by raising a seventy-five-kilogram bar to the top of Elbrus.
The idea was: not just to lift such a heavy barbell on the highest peak of Russia, but also leave it here in the form monument-symbol of the amazing possibilities of man.
However, despite the severity of the sports equipment, the complexity ascent to this peak and even descent from Elbrus, already through for several days the bar managed to steal. Even that the shell on top was not just left, but was fixed on the mountain with using special locks.
As Andrei Rodichev himself noted, it turns out that the thief specifically preparing for such a black action, if he took with him special instruments. This is not a simple climber who accidentally saw expensive sports equipment and grabbing it like this insidious and even arrogant thief.

On the shoulder is his vulture shell, and he drags pancakes with him on a rope.
The reasons for the theft are obvious: such a bar costs about one and a half thousand dollars.
