Yes but the farm name is Redcliffs and the sign on the bridge is spelt that way also. So do we use the local spelling or the "official" spelling?
The name of this crag is actually Redcliffe. See for example: http://www.linz.govt.nz/docs/crownproperty/high.../redcliffe-con-res.pdf http://rsnz.natlib.govt.nz/volume/rsnz_63/rsnz_63_04_003890.html Rock Deluxe pp 238-241 Canterbury Rock also spells it incorrectly, as Redcliffs.
