Home – Sylvan Rocks Climbing School and Guide Service

5 stars

My family took Sylvan's beginning rock climbing class and I would recommend it 100%! We have an 11 and 14 year old and my husband and I felt assured that safety was Sylvan's priority. Our instructor, Ryan did a terrific job explaining techniques at an understandable pace and was very patient. He made sure we mastered each progression before moving on so we didn't feel rushed into the next level. We were all confidently climbing 50 feet by the end of our class. You couldn't ask for a more picturesque, safe, well-organized, and fun experience for the whole family. Thanks, Ryan and Sylvan Climbing School!

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!

Friendly, fun, down to earth people. Booked a three day rock climbing tour of the Black Hills. My experience was custom tailored to me and Brandon made sure I was comfortable climbing every route, we made a game plan each day. Even before traveling to SD he made sure things were in place and communicated any questions or issues I had. Stellar customer service and guiding! I can not thank them enough for helping me become a better climber and for a life time experience I will never forget. Will book again.
