A Scottish climber fell to his death while abseiling down a rock face in the vicinity of the Lion's Head peak in Cape Town, South African police said. Twin brothers Gavin and Mark Ryce, 27, of Edinburgh, were on holiday when the accident occurred, a police spokesman said. The craggy slopes of Cape Town's Table Mountain are popular among climbers from around the world.
