Activities on the team maintained crags

Vantaan Ulkokiipeilijät ry is an association that was formed unofficially (under the name Bad Bouldering Incorporated) in the Summer of 2023. The association was made official during February of 2025.

The original idea the group formed under, was to develop places with dubious bouldering potential, places that other teams wouldn't dare to touch. This morphed into the idea of developing the bouldering scene in Vantaa. During the first year of activity, VUKry members developed and published three crags, with none of them inside Vantaa.

In 2024 the group got their sh*t together, and published 5 crags within the borders of Vantaa. Late 2024, the Chairman of VUKry completed the task of visiting every rock and cliff within Vantaa, taking 20 months, with ~430 km of walking. After scouting the whole city, priorities were set straight, and now the group focuses on developing high quality crags.
