Description Suggest change

The Fairy Tale Wall is the north-facing rock wall in Glen Cove between the Little Pigs and the Chimney. There are two red spots on the wall that mark past rockslide areas. The one on climber's right was very active around 2015-2018, but it has since settled down. Still, I wouldn't trust it enough to get under it for any length of time. The middle slide area can kick off a rock or two every once in a while as well.

Getting There Suggest change

Park at George's Corner just above the Glen Cove brake check, and walk up the old access road to the old mine. Pass the mine on the right, and make your way up the talus to the desired route.
