Hi, i am trying to put a scene into my animation and want to model a cliff that resembles this.

However, i have spent so much time learning to animate the last 6 months or so, my modelling skills have gone down the drain!!

Can someone please give me some tips on how to achieve a high res cliff such as this one, all jagged etc.

Many thanx in advance

It looks like just extruding a simple hexagon etc sided shape up and messing around with the vertices.
