Can you tell me what vertical lift you must over come then the distance from the cliffs edge to where you want to use the water.

The pipe size you have or intending to use

the size of your geni , and I will assume you have a bloody long power cord that you can make waterproof at any join that that may come into contact with the water.

And I should be able to help you out.

The vertical lift is about 10 metres and then about 20 metres to the camp.
