My husband and I were in the Black Hills for vacation and booked 6 hrs of guided climbing at Custer State Park through Sylvan Rocks. We had a great time. Our guide Doug was great. He was really professional and a good teacher, but also really fun. We climbed several routes and everything we did was personalized to us and what we wanted to get out of the session. Can’t recommend enough. We only had indoor climbing experience prior to this, so I would say it was pretty beginner friendly.
I was nervous about booking the 8 hour for my family teens 13,15 and 15. But it was the perfect amount of time. Gabe and Zane were knowledgeable and fun. Honestly if you can afford the longer climb it’s really the best, because the active climb time is not 8 hours there breaks for water, rest, snacks and game plan time so really in order to get the most out of your day you really need the 8 hours.
Awesome day up in the Cathedral Spires. My guide, Doug, was extremely knowledgeable, comminicative, attentive and fun for the entire day. Could not rate more highly. I booked for a one day 1-on-1 guided trip with them and had a great time.
