Great experience with Sylvan Rocks and our guide, Ben. No outdoor climbing experience and Ben made sure we all felt safe and prepared. Highly recommend to anyone looking to rock climb in the area.

Great day out with Brandon last week! He’s an awesome guide and got me up several beautiful and fun climbs. I love climbing around Sylvan Lake! The rock is spectacular and the views amazing. Thanks to Sylvan Rocks for providing such a wonderful experience!
