++ Hag Brush Station

Not a route, sorry. 

Two stations here: At the top of Hag Crack, on the ledge, and on the big maple tree at the base. 

Use a tool from any station, but please return to the same station. Post a note here if one needs replacement, thanks. 

 For wide-area brushing, the long handled wire brush here is better than the ones often left at the base (also, the handle bends up so you are less likely to scrape a knuckle). Don't put much pressure on the brush and do too much scrubbing in one spot if you need excellent friction there (e.g., left side friction routes & Free Cat) as the metal bristles can smoothen the rock. If there is thick moss in the way, you might instead use the back side of the "kama" (serrated scythe) tool to scrape it off. 

The kama will get nearly anything out of a crack, thin crack or thick. Be careful with it while it is still sharp. (Gets dull quick, yet still will be adequate for any crack here.)

The broom is useful for the top-out ledge area and places that have loose dirt.

From the top, walk down carefully near the right (east edge), looking for the knotted handline. From the bottom, go up the east side, then traverse in on the lower handline. 

Post a comment here if you notice a tool gone missing or worn out. 

A biner to clip the tool into. 

For all types of scraping, but particularly wire-brushing, eye protection is a good idea. If you have gloves, you could use them, though these tools are designed to keep your knuckles away from the rock.
