I would be fascinated if you can think of an example where this is
true.


http://www.climbvertigo.ca/location-first-face.htm seems to indicate that in
places, the cliff is actually overhanging.

Yes but that is not vertical so the contour lines (of different heights)
would not be coincident.

I am struggling to get my mind around how an overhang should be shown on
an OS map.
