Calabogie
A 10 minute hike to the boulders. There are a couple of projects. The best time to go is during spring or fall for good temps and to avoid the bugs (it is beside a swamp).

Dreamweaver |
| Apogee | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Start right of Orbital Insertion with your left hand on the sloping lip and right hand on a side pull edge. Make a couple of hard
moves up the blunt arête. |
| Astraphobia | V5 | ⭐ | Fear of thunder and lightening. Sit start matched on the sloping edge under the roof and climb out. Needs to be re-cleaned. |
| Canoes for Canadians | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start under the prow with right on pinch and left on a low edge. Climb up. The stand start is also nice and goes at V1ish. Start left hand on arête, right hand on crimp in the face. Top out straight over prow. |

| Icarus | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Start on the large jug in the corridor, 7 ft up. Figure out how to get to the top of the sloping lip above. Can be done statically or
dynamically and feels like two completely different problems depending on which you choose. A sit start has also been done at
the same grade, but might only be accessible for tall folk. |
| Ice Breaker | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
