Hiking up, and conquering, Table Mountain seems to be a favourite pastime of Hollywood's finest, with actress Emily VanCamp and her husband Josh Bowman being the latest to claim the honour earlier this month.

The Resident, and Revenge star has been visiting Cape Town as part of a working tour and, despite having a fear of heights, managed to complete her summit of our New 7 Wonder of Nature in just over three hours!

She shared her accomplishment on her Instagram feed:

Climbed to the top of table mountain this weekend �� It was incredible to see people zooming up and down it like it was their daily ritual.. I happen to have an almost paralyzing fear of heights so when the option to turn right and head up on the gondola presented itself the obvious choice for me was to push through the fear and turn left. The next 3+ hours were a huge test mentally and physically but worth every second. Mind over matter, one step at a time. Moral of the story, don’t let fear dictate your choices or prevent you from experiencing all that life has to offer. Cheers to facing fears ��Such a beautiful day��
