A little more perspective

The reference selects the narrow principal waterfall descending from its rocky lip to its base. It does not include the elevation of the surrounding highlands or nearby waterfall sections.

A narrow stream traces the steep rock face, with vegetation growing along the surrounding cliffs. Its flow changes with rainfall; the comparison uses the principal drop from lip to base.
