Table Mountain

Kids, don't try this at home.

Today we left our house around noon, and, long story short: we traversed across two mountains, and scaled up the side to the top of the second. Such a bad idea. But so worth it.

Our route in red. About a third of it involved vertical climb switchbacks.

We started at the top of UCT's campus and climbed up Devil's Peak, around it's back, across to Table Mountain, and then climbed up to the top of Table. It took approximately 4 hours, plus a half hour descent to our waiting cab (we were certainly not traversing back across Devil's Peak).

Needless to say, I am beat.

View of Table from the back of Devil's Peak. The long skinny green part (partly in shadow) in the middle of the picture is the vertical climb to the top.

We made it!! View from the top... finally.

More views of Cape Town and the bay.
