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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| The Ambassador of KickYerAssiter | V4 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start as for Bullfighter's Friend, but from the top of the ledges, climb through the corner and continue right to top out as for The Conquistador of Rad. A contrived problem that eliminates the left lip of the boulder |
| The Black Plague | V4 | ⭐ | Start in the low cave in front of Perpetual Motion on obvious holds. A bit awkward to pull on with the block to the right. Move
out to the lip and roll over it. |
| The Dangers of Highballing | V4 | - | Squat start left hand on the sloping rail, right hand on the right lip. Move left up to the sloping dish then press it out. |
| The Great Roof | V4 | ⭐ |
