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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hindsight | V4 | ⭐ | Sit start as reflection and go straight up. The arête is off. |
| Jug Life | V4 | ⭐ | Sit start on the sloping rail. Figure out how to get to the enormous jug and top out above. |
| Last Meal | V4 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Climb the face right of the vertical seam. Top-out needs cleaning. |
| Looney 2'ns | V4 | ⭐ | Stand start hanging to the left side of the arête, matched or left hand on some non‐existent crimps. Pull on (crux). Pop up to the
ledge and top out. |
| Malaria | V4 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start with your right hand at the base of the lip and left on the start hold of West Nile. Traverse the lip left to it's peak then top out on the slab to the left. Starting lower, as for West Nile, adds one awkward move at the
same grade. |
| Malaria Low | V4 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | |
| Misty Mountains | V4 | ⭐⭐ | Climb the arête left of chimney and topout as Siege of Helm's Deep |
| November | V4 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start on good jugs at the base of the the steep right facing corner. Climb up and left to the jug at the lip and top out through the left facing corner. |
| Oldicks | V4 | ⭐ | Start as Goldilocks and climb directly up the pinchy feature, eliminating the holds on the right arête. |
| Orbital Insertion | V4 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Start matched in the good slot below the lip. Climb left to top out as for the finish of The Orbital Traverse. A hard sit start below this looks possible. |
| Pain For Breakfast | V4 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start on the arête with left hand on two finger hold, right hand on a knob around the corner. Climb straight up. |
| Prisoner of Gravity | V4 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Start on the high crimps and climb up to the easier top out. Very technical. |
| Prow Main | V4 | - | Start on the left arête, big move right to climb the prow. A lower start has also been climbed. |
| Put All Your Fears to Rest | V4 | ⭐⭐⭐ | A bit of a catch all problem for starting on the ledge, making a big move to the lip and topping out. The grade varies considerably depending on where you start, where you finish, how you climb it, and your height. |
| Sahara | V4 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Start using the high crimp at the base of the shallow corner and climb up. Grade and quality are height dependent. |
