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).

|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| 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. |

| Edge of Reason | V4 | ⭐⭐ | Start with both hands in the horizontal seam and climb the face right of the arête. Sharp. |

obvious side pull and continue to the lip above it. |

out. |

ledge and top out. |
