Fun, safe, and knowledgeable!

5 stars

Our entire family had an amazing experience with our guides and developed a love for rock climbing! We were especially impressed with how fun and interactive James was with our 6-year-old who ended up climbing like the adults to one of the top rocks at the end of her experience. Thank you so much for making this the highlight of our vacation!

5 stars

Exceeded all expectations. The Devils tower Blitz was a bucket list experience I couldn’t imagine achieving without Sylvan Rocks. Doug Plourde is a true professional. Safety is always first. Education is the next step. The most exciting accomplishment you can have in one weekend!
