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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| The rock giveth | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start on your choice of low crimps
4 feet right of the arête. Climb up the face and arête. |
| Tigerlily | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start at the base of the obvious left facing corner and climb straight up. Likely harder if you are short. A broken foothold has made the problem considerably easier than the original V8. |
| Trench Warfare | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start as for November, but move directly up and right to a sharp crimp then straight up to the juggy lip. Top out straight up
on the slab using small crimps. |
| Tsunami | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start with a sharp crimp in the corner and the arête. Climb up and right. |
| Twisted by Design | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | (aka Fluff Boy) Sit start on the obvious good crimp below the arête. Pull up with difficulty and climb the arête to the top. |
| Uphill Battle | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start matched on the lowest of the quartz edges. Short but powerful. |
| Confident Cat | V6 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Start on two crimps low in the middle of the face. Make a big move left to the good holds and top out. |
| Crotch Rocket | V6 | ⭐ | Start hanging from the very slopey lip. Traverse left to top out. |
| Dengue | V6 | ⭐ | Sit start under the low roof, right hand on the lip, left hand on a crimp underneath. Climb left and up the slab. |
| Gatineau Special | V6 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start under the roof on the large undercling. Climb straight out using sloping edges and finish up the centre of the slab. |
| La Soufriere Stand | V6 | ⭐ | |
| Sword in the Stone | V6 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Start on low underclings to the right of Sahara. Climb straight up through the sharp crimp under the bulge. Loses a grade and a
star if you use the handholds on Sahara. |
| The High Road | V6 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start as for November, but instead of going for the jug and topping out, traverse along the lip all the way to the left side of
the boulder. The large seam 1ft back from the lip is not in. |
| The Journey | V6 | ⭐ | Start on the obvious small crimps in the middle of the face. Climb up and left to the lip. Climbing right to the arête instead
goes around V4 |
| Wolf in Sheep's Clothing | V6 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start in the cave, matched on the lowest flat rail below the blocky jug. Climb up and out of the cave. The crux is not dabbing on the rock behind you. Grade is height dependent. |
