Great time climbing with Chris. He explained things really well. The views were beautiful! My 17 year old and I will climb again!

Brandon was awesome! I am 57, overweight and have a fear of heights but he encouraged me to make it to the top every time! Even if you cant do one pull up you can rock climb. I am proof.

Our family loved our first time rock climbing. Lindsay our guide was amazing kept all four kids (and mom and dad) encouraged and challenged at their own levels with ages ranging from 9 to 18. Never concerned with safety for a moment with Sylvan Rocks and Lindsay as our guide. Amazing first climbing experience. Thank you!
