And yet they are not.
The cliffs that all these articles (travel aggregate sites are not good references lol) are talking about are 1,010m high with an average gradient of 55°. The eastern face of Mitre Peak is 1,683m high with an average gradient of 60°. So it is not only taller but steeper as well.
Sorry but they're all wrong. Doesn't matter how many times something is repeated, it doesn't get more correct just because more people say it.

Except the ones you keep mentioning are located in a sound. Not at the sea. Which is why literally every reference lists the cliffs in Hawaii as the highest SEA cliffs.

It's actually a fjord, not a sound, but either way it doesn't matter because both sounds and fjords and connected to the sea. The water it falls into is the sea. By this logic we might as well rule out the Moloka'i cliffs because they fall into a bay and not the sea.
