The Mountain That Keeps Calling: One Sunday, Three Rescues, Countless Lessons

by Chloe de Kock
December 30, 2025

On one Sunday, Table Mountain called for help three times. First, a man fell while taking a photo and sadly died. Then, a lady broke her leg on a slippery path, needing a helicopter rescue. Later, two hikers got lost but were safely guided back. These events show how dangerous the mountain can be, even on nice days, and how important it is to be careful and prepared.
