Description long route on jugs and plates. the crux comes about halfway up, when you are forced to negotiate a bulge. there is a sit-down ledge rest before the crux, though.
Location hike back down the road from the main area and look for a faint trail on the right. hike up this trail and the first climb you reach is pogue ethics.
Protection 9 bolts, i believe
The start of Pogue Ethics looks like a coral reef

| One of the best routes for its grade in the gorge. Really great line consisting of pulling plates and chicken heads. Good length too. Used to be 10 bolts, but the first bolt is marked off (stick clip the second; fixed biners at the top). |

| Thanks to the locals for replacing the first four bolts on this route with beautiful new glue-ins! Stick clip is still advisable, as the start is a bit pumpy. |
