Billed as the world's highest commercial abseil, this one starts a thousand metres above Cape Town: you back off the summit's edge, feed rope through the descender and drop 112 metres of sheer sandstone with the Atlantic glittering below your heels. Guides control a safety line throughout and no experience is needed — just the ability to lean backwards into fresh air on command. Ride the cableway up and book a morning slot, before the famous tablecloth cloud arrives.
