Great experience with Sylvan Rocks and our guide, Ben. No outdoor climbing experience and Ben made sure we all felt safe and prepared. Highly recommend to anyone looking to rock climb in the area.
Black Hills Rock Climbing Adventures
Talked with Brandon, prior to scheduling, very personable straightforward loved to talk about climbing. Jeff took my son out on the climb, he is fantastic. He kept in touch with us, and took about a dozen pictures for us. An absolute must do in the Black Hills.
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.
