Cape Town - A member of the Wilderness search-and-rescue team was injured on Friday when he slipped on the rocks during a hike with friends on Table Mountain.
According to Kevin Tromp of the rescue team, the rock climber and two friends had gone for a hike when the accident happened about 16:00.
The man slipped on the Arrow Final rock-climbing route directly below the cableway on Table Mountain, said Tromp.
Rescue workers of the metro emergency services and the Wilderness search-and-rescue team were sent to the cliff-face and hoisted the injured climber into the cablecar.
