Description
The namesake of this route, the brainstem, is obvious if you know what to look for. A tufa ball resembling a brain and spinal cord as the lip turns. This route follows a series of viciously small, glued crimps left of the boltline into the large sidepull feature, then heading out left onto the brainstem and up.
Unfortunately a signficant amount of choss has broken on this line and there is now quite a large jug directly under the boltline allowing for a more easy, direct variation to climb into the sidepull feature. Using these holds removes several V-grades of difficulty from the low section, avoid them if you want to claim the 5.14 grade.
Location
Just right of Dreamkeeper, starting on the same ledge. Bolt 3 is a double, use the lower one. Finish on the same anchors as Dreamkeeper.
A variation of this route, "Evolution of Choss" climbs the first 5 bolts of Brainstem before cutting right to finish on the anchors of Too Many Donuts. There is a large beehive that may or may not be active in this area. Proceed with caution.
