Had an INCREDIBLE 1st time climb ever with Doug! Kept it interesting for the varying levels of our group and super friendly! Thanks Doug!

Our guide Brandon was incredible and was so fun to share stories with! Getting to climb and rappel at Sylvan Lake was one of the most incredible and beautiful experiences I’ve ever had, there’s nothing else like it.If I ever decide to go rock climbing again, I will definitely choose Sylvan Rocks 💯💯.

Great experience as always with these guys! The 24th with great weather and climbing conditions saw us get in 10 routes. Really fun and learned so much!
