thumb|x180px|Cross section of a cirque glacier showing the randkluft.
A randkluft (from the German for marginal cleft/crevasse) or rimaye (from the same French ) is the headwall gap between a glacier or snowfield and the adjacent rock face at the back of the cirque or, more loosely, between the rock face and the side of the glacier.
