Outstanding experience. 10/10. Brandon was helpful and flexible in setting us up with our guide Zayne. Zayne was terrific! We stayed safe, had tons of fun, and learned a lot. He accommodated varying skill levels wonderfully. Climbing in the Black Hills was a truly memorable experience. We also took Zayne's suggestions on other things to do in the area and his advice was great. Wonderful!!!
We had an incredible experience with our guides Ryan and Chris. They were great with our kids (ages 8 and 10). My youngest was very nervous to try some of the routes. Chris helped her get started on an easy route that gave her the confidence to try all the others. They were great about assessing all of our abilities and making sure we all had a challenge, but not so much that we couldn't climb. This was our favorite activity that we did while on vacation. They were also extremely safe, checking our gear and their own gear before every single climb.
I would definitely recommend Sylvan Rocks. Our guide, Doug, was very patience with a couple of rookies. My son is very shy and doesn’t talk to people he doesn’t know but he was so comfortable with Doug he chatted all day with him. The views at Sylvan Lake were amazing. We will be back!
