201 Impassable cliff

Geometry: line.

Definition

A cliff, quarry or earth bank that is so high and steep that it is impossible to pass/climb or is dangerous.
For vertical rock faces the tags may be omitted if space is short. Ends of the top line may be rounded or square. Shorter tags may be used at the ends.
The gap between two impassable cliffs or between impassable cliffs and other impassable feature symbols must exceed 0.25 mm on the map.
When an impassable cliff drops straight into water, making it impossible to pass under the cliff along the water’s edge, the bank line is omitted, or the tags shall clearly extend over the bank line. An impassable cliff should interplay with the contour lines.

Parameters

Minimum length: 0.6 mm (footprint 9 m).

Colour: black 60%.
