"It was below 10 degrees, ice cold" after midnight Tuesday as the last people came off South Africa's Table Mountain, having been stranded there for hours, says a rep for the country's national parks.
What had kept them there were those who'd suffered a worse fate. The African News Agency reports a male Japanese climber and his local guide fell to their deaths while rappelling down the Arrow Final route on the Cape Town mountain Monday along with a second female climber, who survived.
