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!

Chris and Ben were extraordinary! They were responsible, knowledgeable, entertaining, and encouraging! This was a sweet reward for my 16-year-old daughter and I. I would highly recommend to any family or group of friends. Thank you so much!

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.
