Great, experienced, kind people to work with.
Black Hills Rock Climbing Adventures
Great folks here at Sylvan Rocks! I had an 8 hr guided adventure booked with them. Unfortunately ‘twas the morn’ of our adventure and the rain was a-threatenin’. My heart took a dive as I reckoned we weren’t gonna make it to the Spires of Cathedral. Brief was the pain though, as my guide, Shankar, lead us up to some of the most stunning views atop Sylvan Lake! It was my first multi-pitch climb and Shankar instilled confidence by remaining cool and calm. I’ll always remember his words “slow is smooth; smooth is efficient “. Thanks Sylvan Rocks and Shankar! 🤙🏼.
Our first "outdoor" climbing adventure - Custer State Park in the Black Hills. Brandon matched us to routes that were challenging but not so difficult we couldn't finish. His knowledge of the sport and the area are second to none. We summited 4 routes - and I was even able to "try" a 5th route graded at 5.11 a/b that was awesome. We are planning on returning next summer - hopefully with a few friends from our indoor gym. Haven and I recommend Sylvan Rocks without question!
