Exceeded all expectations. The Devils tower Blitz was a bucket list experience I couldn’t imagine achieving without Sylvan Rocks. Doug Plourde is a true professional. Safety is always first. Education is the next step. The most exciting accomplishment you can have in one weekend!
Sylvan Rocks is awesome! When they say "Do something you never imagined you could!" on the website, they mean it! The single pitch AMGA guides Ryan and Ben were fantastic and I was able to summit multiple routes on my first attempt ever at climbing outdoors. I cannot recommend the climbing school enough as a fantastic addition to any trip to the Black Hills.
My 8 year old daughter and I had never been climbing before and we’re looking for a fun challenge. I was a little apprehensive about this because I wanted to help my daughter overcome her fear of heights and also have a good time. The whole experience was first class from start to finish. Jeff, the co-owner, was friendly, easy to get ahold of, patiently answered my many questions, and was even flexible with a last minute schedule change. He was also great with kids! Ryan and Chris were our guides over two days and both went above and beyond to make sure we had a good experience. Every step of the way, they thoroughly followed safety precautions which made our first time climbing much more enjoyable. They also were great with kids and pleasant to work with. It was rewarding as a parent to see our child build confidence! All in all, our first experience was excellent and my daughter and I have now found a new hobby we can enjoy together. I would highly recommend Sylvan Rocks Climbing to any parent looking to enjoy the outdoors with their kids or anyone looking for a new challenge. Thank you Sylvan for a great time!
