Table Mountain Climbers: Cape Town Rescuers Find Bodies

The bodies of a tourist and his guide have been recovered from South Africa’s Table Mountain following an accident which trapped hundreds of people at the top of the popular attraction.
The man, his local guide and a second tourist are reported to have been using ropes to scale the front of the Cape Town Mountain when they fell on Monday.
Rescuers then used the cable car to reach the surviving climber.
But the bodies were not recovered until Tuesday.
The tourists are understood to be of Asian origin while the guide was a South African, a spokeswoman for South Africa’s Sanparks, which runs the country’s national parks, told the BBC.
