We had a great time climbing with Jeff at Sylvan Rocks Climbing School. The company is really well run and you can tell that they are fully invested in making sure you have a great time. The owners are guides themselves so they do everything they can to make sure you feel safe, challenged, and satisfied with your experience. We even went out during an unseasonably snowy day in September and had a blast. Highly recommended!
Talked with Brandon, prior to scheduling, very personable straightforward loved to talk about climbing. Jeff took my son out on the climb, he is fantastic. He kept in touch with us, and took about a dozen pictures for us. An absolute must do in the Black Hills.
I highly recommend Sylvan Rocks. We climbed at Custer State Park for the 4 hour package with a family group of 11 people (ages 9 to 47) and our guides (Lindsay, Chris, Ben) expertly trained and supported us all in climbing. They took time to patiently outfit our group, trained us in climbing techniques, encouraged climbers, and coached those who wanted to learn belay technique. I noticed how they used our names and gently provided support when climbers were stuck. The experience left us with an interest in climbing again!
