Mount Thor on Canada's Baffin Island has Earth's greatest purely vertical drop, a granite wall falling about 1,250 meters that actually leans outward at an average angle of 105 degrees, making it a colossal overhang.

A dropped stone would fall clear of the cliff face the whole way, which is why this remote Arctic peak is a magnet for big-wall climbers.
