Climbing with Jeff was the perfect experience for my wife and I. We learned a ton about climbing and the Black Hills, and of course we got to climb some great rock and see amazing views. I would recommend Sylvan Rocks to anyone—experienced climber or beginner.
This is a must do experience in Custer State Park. They are great people and excellent rock climbing instructors. We felt very safe and confident throughout the 2 days we went with Sylvan Rocks and will be returning to climb again. Thank you for the great experience. I thoroughly enjoyed watching my son build confidence and skill.
We booked a 6 hour lesson with Brandon and Chris in early September, 2020. We are a family of 5 with kids age 11, 9 and 6. This was our first outdoor rock climbing experience and it was amazing! We thought we would be getting to scale some large boulders outside. In the end, three of us climbed to the top of Rhinoceros Rock, a mountain in Custer State Park that is 130 feet high! Brandon and Chris were great guides and teachers. They worked extremely well with the kids, including helping my 6 year old not be afraid of heights and feel safe. They were very thorough, safe and fun. I highly recommend using Sylvan Rocks Climbing School if you are anywhere close to the area. It was the highlight of our trip to the Black Hills.
