We are always looking for new members to join Table Mountain Rescue.  A new member should meet most if not all of the following criteria:

1.  Have a cell phone - all callouts are sent via SMS 

2.  Have the right attitude - callouts occur at all times of the day or night.  You will typically be required to work in adverse conditions.  You should be willing to help others, patient and a team player.

3.  Live close enough to Table Mountain to be able to respond to a callout within 45 minutes

4.  Know the mountain well - climbers are preferred but fit hikers are also required

5.  Have a good level of fitness - a general fitness test is to start at the bottom of Platteklip with a 15kg pack.  Ascend Platteklip, make your way to Maclears Beacon and back and descend Platteklip within 4 hours.

6.  Have all of the basic kit required - see kit list

If you meet most of the above criteria and are keen to join or require further information, please send an email.
