When Antonio de Saldanha climbed Table Mountain 506 years ago, to orientate himself, it probably took him a day to climb the flat looking mountain.
Yesterday the record for the fastest accent up Table Mountain was recorded. Within 27 minutes and 52 seconds Andrew Hagan completed the ascent. Well done Andrew!
To top this he came down in 11 minutes 43 seconds!
The route was via Platteklip Gorge. Starting where you leave the tar road and ending at the top (obviously). It's approximately a gain of 600m in altitude. Andrew ascended Table Mountain at 21 vertical meters per minute!
So you think YOU can do better? Join the race next year! In the mean while, leave a comment and lets see what were your best time up the Mountain.
