outcroppings Explanation: I assume these are only a costal thing. Spires is another option. Unless they mean the Farallon Islands. |

cliffs Explanation: Not my specialty, but this is just a suggestion. farallón (m) n. steep rock, cliff, bluff farallón = rock face, steep rock face. Ex: The article is entitled 'View from the rock face: survey of overseas students currently studying in the UK'. Ex: Following the narrator across endless ash fields, lava fields and steep rock faces, the reader easily gets lost in a dream in which the mysterious and the familiar merge. |
