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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SF Bunnies | V3 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start below the obvious corner and climb up into it. |
| Scratching Post | V3 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Start on a good incut and slope just right of the tree. Climb right and up through the big ledge. |
| Shindig | V3 | - | Start matched on the ledge at the base of the corner. Climb up and right using holds on the arête, then back into the corner to
top out. |
| Solar Flare | V3 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start with right hand on the arête and left on a low side pull. Climb up and left along the steep arête. |
| 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 | ⭐⭐⭐ |
