This morning we woke up early and after a quick weather check we decided today was the day to climb table mountain! (Me and Möritz)
We took the MyCiti Bus into Civic Cebter then caught a cab to the bottom of table mountain. Our cab driver was a very funny and bubbly lady who was a great laugh to chat with. She was saying how crazy we are to climb up in this heat- and later on we found out the hard way that she had a good point!
It was a beautiful day to hike up with blue skies and not a single cloud on top of the magnificent mountain.
The hike up was a lot harder than expected! I have been really pretty rubbish all weekend already and Moritz had been out the night before but didn't think it would be as tough. However it was great fun and we enjoyed the sunshine and amazing views.
We finally got to the peak in under 2 hours. We quickly found a spot and took into some good food- hungry work hiking up! The views were even more incredible at the top!
After exploring around the top it was time to pump up the adrenaline levels and abseil down the side of Table Mountain. The 112m abseil is pretty extreme and offers some exciting views over Camps Bay!
It was such a amazing experience abseiling of the side of this huge beast of a mountain. Made it a bit more exciting my jumping most of the way down. Then there was the surprise and the rock face vanished and you just hung from an overhang in the rock and lowered yourself down. What a way to experience Table Mountain!
Then we got the cable car down to get the full package of Table Mountain!
God Bless.
That looks soooo amazing to do - what a blast !!! X nice touch on the t shirts !!
