Black Hills Rock Climbing Adventures

5 stars

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 climbing outing with Sylvan Rocks was unforgettable! My husband and I did an 8-hour guided tour with Brandon--who was VERY knowledgeable. He designed the day specifically for us: bringing us to routes that fit our needs and ability levels. We climbed a variety of routes that ranged in difficulty, including a multi-pitch climb. It was clear Brandon took safety seriously, so we felt comfortable the entire time. What a wonderful way to see the Black Hills! For context, we had some experience climbing in a gym before our trip and typically climb 5.9-5.10 routes. The climbing in the Black Hills was challenging and fun!

They were wonderful! Came with a group of 20 (mostly teen) novice climbers and the instructors were phenomenal. They were reassuring yet challenged us in the best ways. Could not recommend them more.
