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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Skirmish Traverse | V4 | ⭐ | Start under the left side of the roof. Traverse right to top out at Skirmish. You can also top out straight up over the lip at about V5 |
| Skull-Fucking Bunnies | V4 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Start on the right corner of the face to the right of Electric Chair, under a series of sloped ledges. Sit-start at the bottom of the shallow dihedral. Slap your way up and to the right. Mantle your way into the upper dihedral and top out. |
| Staalbasiphobia | V4 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | (aka Back Breaker) Fear of standing or walking. Sit start awkwardly matched on the ledge above the sloping rock. Climb up through the steepest part of the roof. |
| Suspended Animation | V4 | ⭐⭐ | Sit start with left hand on the large sidepull edge and right hand on the arête. Unlock some interesting moves to climb up. |
