This was hands down the most fun I've ever had. The guides Chris, and Ben we're nice, and professional. If you are up for a new challenge, then I would recommend climbing with Sylvan Rocks. I am new to the scene but this was awesome for an outdoors experience. Thank you guys again, and I will definitely be coming back!

They were wonderful! Came with a group of 20 (mostly teen) novice climbers and the instructors were phenomenal. They were reassuring yet challenged us in the best ways. Could not recommend them more.

Fun, safe, and knowledgeable!
