Calabogie, ON, Canada.

Calabogie hosts an exceptional and diverse set of V4s - perhaps the densest concentration at the grade anywhere. Here is a collection of eight V4s that I have done over a few days of climbing there over the years. Note: my beta tends to be rather tall and sometime quite different from the usual (most obviously for Orbital Insertion and Sahara); and my top-outs tend to be pretty ugly (sorry about that). (0:00) Intro (0:08) Orbital Insertion V4 - distant heel hook beta (0:50) November V4 - probably the best one here (1:49) Trade Route To India V4 (at my height) - stretch!!!! (or jump) (3:07) Sahara (right exit) V4 - the typical exit is a bit to the left (3:55) Fool's Gold V4 - fun lowball (4:30) Put All Your Fears To Rest V4 - this version is probably easier than V4 (5:19) Yellow Fever V4 (6:11) Malaria V4 Music by Cake and Beck #bouldering #climbing #allthev4s #calabogie #calabogiebouldering #boulderingcalabogie #ontariobouldering #LowBallWizard #boulderingOntario
