No there are no regulations for climb or descent rates for VFR

Err I don't think that's 100% correct but it will do for MX.
Please then for my benefit point me to such a regulation.
Technically speaking, it is illegal to descend faster than about
25,000fpm (needs to be adjusted based on density, since it's give in
terms of indicated airspeed) when below 10,000ft. I doubt too many
flights would need to worry about this limitation.
Or climb!
But in fact this can be waived and very frequently is.
Damn jet jockies. :-)))
