Probably not the tallest but Eagle's Point Buttress is nearly 300 feet.

There are some pretty tall cliffs along the Kentucky River Palisades... but I would say for cliffs that get climbed. 300’ maybe about it...

The Palisades = beautiful. One of the prettiest parts of Kentucky I have ever seen. I canoed up the Dix River to the damn from High Bridge a couple weeks ago. The cliffs are crazy tall there, but I don't like the idea of climbing on loose chossy limestone.
