My girlfriend and I went climbing with Brandon and his team for our first climb in the Black Hills. They are great at explaining things, taking you to the best locations, and being safe. Recommend these guys all the way! Can't wait to come back!
Black Hills Rock Climbing Adventures
Far and away the best part of our vacation (6 hour private climbing). Chris and Doug were absolutely amazing with our kids and the adults! They got my wife and I climbing up to places neither of us thought we could. Worth every penny, can't wait to return.
We loved our day with Sylvan Rocks! This is a must-do in the Black Hills! We had 2 adults and our 2 kids, age 7 & 8. We had all climbed at a couple indoor gyms before. That experience wasn't necessary but this was the perfect next step. Brandon was super patient and encouraging, and made us feel really safe. My husband and kids are athletic, but I am not and my son gets nervous trying new things. I couldn't believe the wall we climbed! In our 4 hours, we each tried several different climbs plus more for the kids, in a spectacularly beautiful setting. Long sleeves and durable pants recommended or you will get scraped up a bit. The awesome grippy shoes make you feel like spiderman! It was definitely a highlight of our trip and left us wanting to go again! (also felt safe with Covid concerns - staff wore masks when inside with us and the rest of the time we were in open air with plenty of space).
