Jeff was an excellent guide for a group that included kids 6-10 years old. He helped a few work through some fear and frustration. Everyone grew through the day. Could not have been happier. We’ll be back.

5 stars

Everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was my first time rock climbing and my guide Sean was patient. I was able to climb six times. The views were great.

5 stars

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.
