This clue is a quadruple definition!!

'cliff' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'face' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'showing' is a link.

'evidence of old' is the third definition.
'scar' can be an answer for 'evidence' (scar is a kind of evidence). I'm not sure about the 'of old' bit.

'damage' is the fourth definition.
(I know that scar is a more specific form of the action blemish)
