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).

Routes
| Name | Grade ↓ | Star rating | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| The East Enders | V5 | ⭐ | Start sitting in the alcove on a right facing rail, find a cool kneebar, and then awkwardly traverse left to top out. |
| The Ultimate Dad | V5 | - | This climb is on the same Boulder as The Ultimate Chad and right of Scratching Post Direct. Downclimb is a bit sketchy so only top if you’re confident with down-climbs. The down-climb involves jumping onto the sister Boulder. |
| The rock giveth | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start on your choice of low crimps
4 feet right of the arête. Climb up the face and arête. |
| Tigerlily | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start at the base of the obvious left facing corner and climb straight up. Likely harder if you are short. A broken foothold has made the problem considerably easier than the original V8. |
| Trench Warfare | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start as for November, but move directly up and right to a sharp crimp then straight up to the juggy lip. Top out straight up
on the slab using small crimps. |
| Tsunami | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start with a sharp crimp in the corner and the arête. Climb up and right. |
| Twisted by Design | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | (aka Fluff Boy) Sit start on the obvious good crimp below the arête. Pull up with difficulty and climb the arête to the top. |
| Uphill Battle | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start matched on the lowest of the quartz edges. Short but powerful. |
| Cross Bow Draw | V4 | ⭐ | Start with right hand on arête and left in the low side pull pinch, go up to the hold in the seam, and top out to the right of the seam. |
| Disappearing Ink | V4 | ⭐ | Start sitting with right hand on a small crimp under the roof and left hand on the slope at the lip. Grade is height dependent. |
| Easy Come, Easy Go | V4 | - | Sit/squat start hanging from the sloping lip. Move up to the good shelf, then through a shallow crimp on the slab. |
| Edge of Reason | V4 | ⭐⭐ | Start with both hands in the horizontal seam and climb the face right of the arête. Sharp. |
| Ergophobia | V4 | ⭐ | (aka Welcome to the Cruel World) Fear of work. Sit start on the rail a few feet right of Staalbasiphobia. Move up and right to the
obvious side pull and continue to the lip above it. |
| Fear of Porcupines | V4 | ⭐⭐ | Sit start just left of the pit with a low right hand side pull and left hand sloping edge. Climb up to the lip and a hard mantle to top
out. |
| Fool's Gold | V4 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start with left hand on the side pull and right on the arête. Top out directly above. |
