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).

|---|---|---|---|
| Turn Around | V3 | ⭐⭐⭐ | |
| Uncertainty Principle | V3 | - | Start left hand on high (7ft) side pull pinch on the arête, right hand on small side pull crimp to the right. Climb up to the large
sloping ledge and drop, or keep going as far as you can along the rail to the left. How far can you get? Very reachy. |

left arête and finishing up the crack |
| Waterlily | V3 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Start on the right side of the boulder and climb the huge ledge left to top out as Tigerlily. |
| Zombie Roof | V3 | ⭐⭐⭐ | A real shorty. Sit start on the low jug and surmount the blunt arête. |
