Stuart Trow, 33, from north Shropshire, reached the top of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania on Thursday.
The former SAS and Parachute Regiment member wore a prosthetic limb during the gruelling climb to the summit, which stands at 5,892 metres above sea level.
His wife Lisa said she was "really proud and really pleased" that the father-of-two had successfully completed the gruelling challenge he set himself to raise money for Help For Heroes.
She said: "I was really pleased and really proud of him when I heard he'd made it to the top. I think he's aching and I could tell he was tired on the phone.
"I've spoken to him a couple of times since and and he's due back in Shropshire tomorrow."
Mr Trow, who went to the Mary Webb School in Pontesbury, has raised more than £15,000 for the charity.
