Black Hills Rock Climbing Adventures

5 stars

We booked a 6 hour lesson with Brandon and Chris in early September, 2020. We are a family of 5 with kids age 11, 9 and 6. This was our first outdoor rock climbing experience and it was amazing! We thought we would be getting to scale some large boulders outside. In the end, three of us climbed to the top of Rhinoceros Rock, a mountain in Custer State Park that is 130 feet high! Brandon and Chris were great guides and teachers. They worked extremely well with the kids, including helping my 6 year old not be afraid of heights and feel safe. They were very thorough, safe and fun. I highly recommend using Sylvan Rocks Climbing School if you are anywhere close to the area. It was the highlight of our trip to the Black Hills.

My cousin and I went out for our first climbing experience. We went with Doug as our guide. Doug helped us understand the equipment, the techniques, then used our ability, physical condition, and what we were after and put us on the perfect route on the cathedral spires to cap off the best trip I’ve been on ever. His knowledge, experience and just general calmness made us feel like we had knew him for years and helped calm any nerves. I would recommend this to any thrill seeker or just looking for something different. Doug is the real deal can’t wait to bring my family back out and for sure trying to get Doug.

Me, wife and 10 year old son climbed with Daryl. Basically zero previous experience. Outstanding physical and educational experience. I was surprised what I was able to climb! Read the 1952 paper by Herb Conn online and hire Daryl. You won't regret it.
