Great guiding experience with Doug! Felt very comfortable and safe while heading up devils tower…highly recommend Sylvan rocks and would love to climb through them again!
Black Hills Rock Climbing Adventures
Our family of four (kids 13 and 11) had a fantastic time climbing with Sylvan Rocks! It has been the highlight of our trip and an experience none of us will ever forget. The co-owner, Jeff, was very friendly and flexible with our somewhat last minute booking. He was patient during the booking process when my phone kept losing service in the area and I had to call him back 3 times! My kids have done some indoor climbing but, other than that, no climbing experience. Our guide, Cheyenne, was very encouraging and was able to tailor the climbs to each climber’s comfort level. He was very attentive to safety, and I felt comfortable that we were safe at all times, while still being able to try routes that were challenging for us. I would recommend this experience to anyone. Don’t miss out on a fantastic experience...one that you will not forget. And who knows, may lead to a new passion!
Excellent guide service! We did one day of guided climbing out of a whole week of climbing on our own in June 2021. I was impressed by how Sylvan rocks tailored our guided day to our goals. My wife and I had goals of working on dialing in our systems during multipitch climbs. We had some minimal trad climbing and multipitch experience going into our day. Jeff, one of the co-owners, took us up spire two and spire four and provided education on rope and climber management at every step of the way. He tailored the day, taking into account our past experience and our goals. We got to go on some great climbs and added to our toolbox of skills. I was very appreciative of the extra time Jeff took to discuss climbs we could consider for the rest of the week after our guided trip had finished. The beta was much appreciated and added a lot of value to the rest of our week in the black hills.
