Adventure of a Lifetime

More Fun and Awesome Views (Ages 5 and Up)

Arguably the most fun course we offer! By choosing an eight-hour Adventure Climbing course, you will get a private day with your guide, and have the opportunity to climb some of the more exciting and larger formations in our area, such as the Cathedral Spires. During an eight-hour Adventure Climbing course, our climbing guides will meet you at the South Dakota Outdoor Shop in Custer, South Dakota. Your guide will outfit you with all the necessary climbing equipment for your day, and talk to you about your experience, skill level, and desired outcomes for the day. After your guide selects a climbing destination that best matches your skills and desires, you will then travel to one of several different climbing locations located in Custer State Park or Mount Rushmore National Memorial (transportation not provided). For Adventure Climbing courses at Devils Tower, meeting arrangements will be finalized in advance.

In addition, you will have the opportunity to climb more summits than any of our other course offerings. Our eight-hour Adventure Climbing course also allows more time to hone your technical skills, such as lead climbing or self/partner rescue.

Ages 5 and up, parent or guardian MUST be present!

NOTE: Our Adventure Climbing courses at Devils Tower DO NOT include trips to the summit. If you want to summit Devils Tower, check out our Devils Tower Blitz courses.

Outstanding experience. 10/10. Brandon was helpful and flexible in setting us up with our guide Zayne. Zayne was terrific! We stayed safe, had tons of fun, and learned a lot. He accommodated varying skill levels wonderfully. Climbing in the Black Hills was a truly memorable experience. We also took Zayne's suggestions on other things to do in the area and his advice was great. Wonderful!!!

We've been climbing with Sylvan Rocks for years and each time it is a highlight of our trip to SD. Our guide over the years has been Chris, who is always friendly and attentive to your safety and skill level. We strongly recommended Sylvan Rocks for an adventure of a lifetime!
