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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solid Ether | V3 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Start squeezing the prow on opposing sloping sidepulls and
good feet. Slap up the prow trending right to the topout of SF
Bunnies. The sit start is also really good (provided you are tall
enough) and adds a couple more compression moves at about
the same grade. |
| Stink Bug | V3 | ⭐⭐ | Start sitting, compressing between the left facing corner and the prow. |
| The Boulder I Want | V3 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start at the lip of the low roof and traverse right to climb the far right arête of the prow. A slightly harder variation climbs directly up the sloping holds left of the arête |
| The Bullfighter's Friend | V3 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start at the bottom of the stepped ledges and climb them. |
| The Conquistador of Rad | V3 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Start in the middle of the face, spanning the opposing corners. Slap your way up to the top on smeary feet. Not short person friendly. Sit starting from a couple of terrible crimps is around V7. |
| The Egyptian Wave | V3 | ⭐ | Start on slopers on the left side of the wave feature and traverse right to top out in the centre of the wave. Possible sit start in the
middle from very small crimps. |
| The Facebook Insult | V3 | ⭐ | Start sitting below the arête and climb it. |
| The Happy Hooker | V3 | ⭐⭐ | Starts at the gap in the foliage, where the slab is perched about 5' off the ground. Learn how to mantle. |
| The Orbital Traverse | V3 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start on the left side of the boulder. Traverse right along the lip through the large corners to top out up the low angle arête. |
| Tip of the Iceberg | V3 | ⭐ | In the corridor opposite of Icarus. Start matched on the wide shallow pinch and climb up and slightly right to a good edge at
12 feet. Match and drop off. |
| 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. |
| Waiting in Line for the Electric Chair | V3 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Start on crimps below and slightly right of the striking zig zag feature. Climb up through this feature before firing out to the
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. |
