Brandon was our guide for the day. We chose the 4 hour climbing adventure and was absolutely perfect for us. My husband and I don't have a lot of experience with climbing and Brandon did a fantastic job at explaining everything. He talked us through every step of the way and felt safe. He went the extra mile with us and greatly appreciate it! Would go again for sure. Thanks so much!!

Climbing with Jeff was the perfect experience for my wife and I. We learned a ton about climbing and the Black Hills, and of course we got to climb some great rock and see amazing views. I would recommend Sylvan Rocks to anyone—experienced climber or beginner.
