Brandon was awesome! I am 57, overweight and have a fear of heights but he encouraged me to make it to the top every time! Even if you cant do one pull up you can rock climb. I am proof.

I had a blast climbing with Sylvan Rocks! My guide was very knowledgeable and personable. I learned a lot and had fun coming around the Palisades.
