Squamish Rampage began in 2014 as a community-organized annual event organized by volunteers from the Vancouver Rock Climbing Group (VRCG), a publicly registered not-for-profit organization. The first 5 one-day events provided opportunities for participants to boulder together in the Grand Wall bouldering area. The purpose of the annual event has always been to to bring the community together to c
elebrate and sample local climbing, raise funds to protect local climbing access and maintain climbing areas/routes/trails by donating proceeds to the Squamish Access Society, and provide opportunities for beginners to try outdoor rock climbing and to learn outdoor etiquette and ethics from experienced climbers. Changes to the event format for 2022:

Squamish Rampage participants will join the bouldering and/or the sport climbing and/or the trad climbing challenge from July 30th to August 13th 2022.
