R945 000 raised for charity and 738 summits of Table Mountain in record time – those are the highlights of a fantastic 2017 Cableway Charity Challenge, held on Saturday 1 April 2017.

As the title sponsor of the event, the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway entered three teams – including our MD, Wahida Parker – and our green team members did us proud! Our team members managed an impressive 47 summits of the mountain between them, with Lamla Pokolo rocking six summits.

The day saw a number of record-breaking summits, including by the youngest participant, 13-year-old Adam de Waal, who completed five summits. At the other end of the age spectrum, 71-year-old Hilmar Luckhoff, the oldest challenge competitor, completed four summits.

Team Allan Gray, the top corporate sponsor, climbed all-new heights with 28 summits in the fastest time, at 50 hours and 37 minutes.
