Farmer Colin Edwards, from Chudleigh, has arrived home after successfully climbing the world's highest volcano with 18 other adventurers.
The team, including Mr Edwards, climbed 5,897m to the summit of Mt Cotopaxi in support of the Steps charity, which campaigns for children with lower limb conditions and Reach, which helps children with upper limb deficiencies.
So far, they have raised more than £86,000 and money is still coming in. Mr Edwards was 18 when he lost sensation in one leg after a motorbike accident. He later had it amputated and now wears a prosthetic leg.
'I did this expedition to test myself and to help other amputees realise what is possible. 'Hopefully it might inspire others to push the boundaries and life to its fullest,' said Mr Edwards.
Fourteen of the 19 who started the expedition made it to the top. Charles Murray, leader of the expedition and chairman of Steps, spoke of his best moment. 'My highest point was seeing the joy on the faces of the team members who hadn't made it when they saw each successful climber arrive back safely.
It wasn't about individual success, but about the success of the team as a whole.' Sue Banton, director and founder of Steps, commented: 'It's truly amazing what Colin and the other participants have achieved, both personally and in aid of Steps.
'I can't express how much their contribution means to us and the children we support.'
