My 12-year-old daughter and I did the 2-day devils tower blast trip, and we had an amazing time!! I had climbed Custer state park and Devils Tower multiple times, and this was the best time out yet! Our guide, Doug, was informative, encouraging, and an awesome person! Our day on the tower was perfect with Doug leading the way! I loved the setup, the information, the safety, and now my daughter and I have a memory that will last a lifetime!!! We can’t wait for our next trip!

Sylvan Rocks is awesome! When they say "Do something you never imagined you could!" on the website, they mean it! The single pitch AMGA guides Ryan and Ben were fantastic and I was able to summit multiple routes on my first attempt ever at climbing outdoors. I cannot recommend the climbing school enough as a fantastic addition to any trip to the Black Hills.
