Beacon Cliff is a location near Beacon Academy. It first appears in "The First Step" overlooking the Emerald Forest. There are what appear to be launch pads with the Beacon Academy emblem on them.
History
RWBY
Beacon Cliff is the starting point for Beacon Academy's initiation. While everyone prepares to start, Ozpin explains that they will be launched into the forest and find partners in order to make it to a temple and retrieve a relic.
From there, the students were launched one at a time from the cliff and were told to use their own landing strategies, while Jaune Arc was unceremoniously launched into the forest while questioning what a landing strategy was.
Beacon Cliff is seen again in "The Emerald Forest, Pt.2", where Ozpin and Glynda Goodwitch are discussing the last pair of students being formed (Lie Ren and Nora Valkyrie).
The cliffs are seen for a final time, when Ozpin becomes intrigued by Ruby Rose and Weiss Schnee's interactions in the forest.
Trivia
- Monty Oum first announced the Beacon Cliffs in a Rooster Teeth Journal in which he explains how he textured the map using pictures of food. He then stated that there is a cliff called the Beacon Cliffs that may or may not be made of bacon, or named after the food.[1]
