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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skin Fetish | V5 | ⭐⭐ | Sit start on left side of the boulder and traverse right on sloppers, topping out on the far right around the corner. |
| Tales of the Purple Platypus | V5 | ⭐ | Start on the left side of the face, on crimps below the ledge. Move up to the ledge and top out. Several variations exist that traverse right eliminating the ledge. A sit start on the low diagonal rail down and left goes at about V8. |
| The East Enders | V5 | ⭐ | Start sitting in the alcove on a right facing rail, find a cool kneebar, and then awkwardly traverse left to top out. |
| The Ultimate Dad | V5 | - | This climb is on the same Boulder as The Ultimate Chad and right of Scratching Post Direct. Downclimb is a bit sketchy so only top if you’re confident with down-climbs. The down-climb involves jumping onto the sister Boulder. |
| 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 | ⭐ |
