Hubby and 2 kids (11 and 15) had the pleasure of embarking on this climbing adventure with Shankar as guide and they absolutely loved it! Shankar fueled the day w knowledge, humor, and enthusiasm! We will proudly display our Sylvan Rocks car stickers and make reservations to climb again ASAP! Next time they climb they get to go to even cooler climbing spots cuz they have done “climbing 101” already! Bring snacks and water!
Took the 4 hr trip with me and my 7 year old. The entire process from booking our trip to signing the consent on line to the end getting into our car and leaving was seemless. They made everything very convenient and hassle free. I would say that this is the best money spent as far as “attractions” go in the Black Hills although, I do feel that Sylvan Rocks is on a different level than the standard Black Hills tourist trap. Whether you’re a local or in the area on vacation, I highly recommend this guide service. We had Ryan as our guide and he was awesome. He was great with my 7 year old and provided great instruction for both of us. Definitely will be booking another trip with my wife sometime in the future to get a little more time climbing and probably do the 6 or 8 hr option. In conclusion, if you want to experience the hills, book a climbing trip with Sylvan Rocks. It’s the most bang for your buck and I can guarantee you won’t regret it!
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.
