Squamish Rampage: Boulder Love


It was for the joy of movement, the appreciation of a good challenge and the bond of community.

More so than during a usual Squamish summer’s day, shrieks of triumph and defeat echoed through the forest below the Chief. Wandering among the Grand Wall boulders with sacks of chalk in hand and sticky rubber shoes, climbers sought to ascend the rocks by feats of strength and poise.

Squamish fell under a rampage. For the third year running the Rampage Festival brought hundreds of climbers out to Squamish’s renowned granite boulders. This year participants came from as far off as Portland. The volunteer-run event aimed to unite the climbing community and raise money for Climb and Conquer Society—a charity that takes kids out climbing.

While the majority of participants were just there to have some fun, meet new people, and appreciate the boulders, a few were in it to win it. Amanda Berezowski and Ross Fluerson defied gravity and climbed some rather difficult problems up to a grade of V10. Aside from the sweet taste of victory, their prizes included clothing from Blurr Design, equipment from Blicard and coffee from Counterpart Coffee.

Outside of the forest on the grass in the Chief campground, the other major contingent of the Rampage Festival was out in force. Paired off, acro yogis demonstrated surreal dexterity, strength, and trust with each other. They stood on their hands and supported each other in unlikely-seeming postures, honing the awareness of body and mind. Coral Crawford and Siovhan Williamson from Flow Acro facilitated several courses for those interested in learning.

 

There was plenty of psych, swag and good times for those who showed up to Rampage this year. When things wound down at the Chief everyone headed to the Ground Up Climbing Centre for a BBQ and beer. A few of climbers with energy to burn tested their skills to see who could make largest leap or dyno on the plastic holds at the gym.

Hooting and hollering carried on at Kinsmen Campground where festival attendees camped over the weekend.

The fires burned late into the night.

I highly recommend working with Alex both as a colleague and as a client

I have had the pleasure of working with Alex over the last couple of years in several different transactions, including one as a colisting partner, which gave me the privilege of seeing both how he works behind the scenes and on the front lines. Alex is an extremely hard worker, he gives every task his

I would never make a future real estate decision without Scott’s involvement.

Scott gives invaluable real estate advice. Both of his recommendations were spot on. We purchased in the ideal location and at the ideal time. I completely trust his instincts — I would never make a future real estate decision without his involvement.

I completely endorse Scott

I met Scott by chance and he surpassed my expectations of what a realtor is all about and could do for me. Scott took the time to listen and truly understand what I was looking for. He has extensive knowledge of the Squamish area.

Kind, Caring and Knowledgeable

What a complete pleasure it is to work with Scott ! After being here for 6 months it is better than we could have imagined. I couldn’t recommend Scott more, both personally and professionally and some one we will be delighted to work with in the near future.

Alex knows Squamish!

As an Ontario resident moving to Squamish, British Columbia, I was very happy with the service provided by Alex Vark. He, personally, took the time to drive us around the area to familiarize us with the town and various neighbourhoods. His knowledge and patience were most helpful. I recommend Alex as your Squamish Realtor!!

Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness

We worked with Alex to purchase a home in Squamish last fall. Alex was amazing. We felt like we were his only clients, and we felt like the purchase of the right home was as important to him as it was for us. Whenever we had a question, Alex was always quick to respond! He

“could not have been a more positive experience for us”

Working with Alex could not have been a more positive experience for us. Alex knew exactly what we were looking for and didn’t waste any time finding us the perfect home. Alex is professional, transparent, and clearly very experienced in the world of real estate. We felt like we were working with a friend rather

Lauren McGill & Max Barron Squamish November 17, 2019

We were very proud to have Alex represent us

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️We were incredibly pleased with Alex's efforts in helping us find a home suitable to our needs. Our experience with Alex was far more desirable than with our previous realtor, who was foreign to Squamish. He provided us with many options, and was very detailed in his analyses of homes that we showed interest in.

Dan Patching – Mortgage Broker

I just finished working alongside Alex as he helped my clients sell their condo in Squamish and buy a beautiful townhouse. Not only did he get them an amazing price for both, he also was extremely professional and quick to respond when questions were asked. It was a pleasure working alongside him, and anyone considering
