This is a tremendous experience. We took a group of 6 adults and 5 young children ranging in age from 5-8 and everyone climbed. Jeff and Brandon were kind, patient and encouraging. They were firm with anything regarding safety. This is a wonderful opportunity for the children to experience of sense of accomplishment and personal responsibility. The area of Sylvan Lake is a majestic background for what was an experience we will never forget.
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.
Great. Fabulous. Epic. Fantastic. All the best adjectives to describe the experience we had! Co-owner Jeff, Chris S and Shankar made our first climbing adventure the best it could have been! All 9 of us, ranging in age from 7-45, were total rock climbing newbs but we never felt like it! The whole crew at Sylvan Rocks set about to ensure that we all felt secure and ready to rock. We did the 6HR group climb at Custer State Park/Sylvan Lake. After ample time to practice, we split into 3 groups by ability and hit the big ones (not that the "little" ones were any joke though 😅 🙃) Rock climbing was never, ever on any bucket list of mine but I positively can tell you, each and every one of us will be back! Definitely a highlight of our Black Hills trip!!!! Thanks again from our whole crew!! August 2021.
