Details
The CCC has created the list linked below of accessible and inaccessible climbing areas with some caveats. If you decide to head out for a day of climbing, please do not attempt to go to those marked ‘inaccessible’. Please note that all areas in WNC will have extensive tree damage and if you head out, use extra caution for all the trees above, especially on a windy day. Rock fall potential is also highest after a big weather event. Please use extra caution while climbing and prepare to self rescue if injured. Injury response time will be greatly limited for any injury currently, especially for a remote injury. Cell service is limited in all areas. Parking at accessible crags in the WNC/ Upstate SC region will likely be challenging. If the parking lot is full, go to a different area and do not park illegally or in a road. Make a plan B before leaving your house. Expect road detours on the way to the crag. NCdrive.gov updates road closures. Once you get to the crag, expect many trees blocking access trails and of course, come volunteer with the CCC to help us bring our climbing areas back!

Description
This boulder host a number of fun, steep (if low) lines that feature a lot of larger holds and complex moves.
Getting There
From The Eco-Challenge boulder, walk towards the Gym Rat Kevin boulder and locate the trail above that boulder. Follow this trail for a short walk (2-3 minutes) across the hill side until you come hit the Pinky and The Brain boulder.
From the Fire Road, take the trail towards the Amphitheater, follow this trail up hill for several minutes until you find the trail branching off to the right. The Brain boulder is just off the trail (is generally clearly visible from the Amphitheater trail when the leaves are off the trees).
