Highest Cliff in the world?
Out of curiosity, I've been trying to figure out what the tallest continuous vertical cliff in the world is and I can't seem to find a common consensus. Encyclopedia's list the South Face of Great Trango in Pakistan, at 1340 meters to be the tallest cliff in the world. However, "The Thumbnail" in Greenland is reported to be 1500 meters high. (this may be a recent discovery). Its widely reported that Cerro Torre in the Patagonia is 7000 feet of continuous vertical cliff, and that works out to be 2100 meters. Guiness World Records aren't much help, only listing the highest "sea cliff" as one in hawaii at 1100 meters which is not true, higher ones being in Greenland and Norway.
Is there a consensus on this?
Hmmmm.
