Yesterday my husband, 13-year-old son and I went rock climbing for the first time with our guide, Bears! This was one of the most amazing things we have done this summer in the Black Hills! I would highly recommend Sylvan Rocks and Bears! She was so patient with us as first timers and with our son and all his questions! I never in a million years thought we would be rock climbing but we are ready to book our next climb already a day later!
Jeff was an excellent guide for a group that included kids 6-10 years old. He helped a few work through some fear and frustration. Everyone grew through the day. Could not have been happier. We’ll be back.
Our family of four (kids 13 and 11) had a fantastic time climbing with Sylvan Rocks! It has been the highlight of our trip and an experience none of us will ever forget. The co-owner, Jeff, was very friendly and flexible with our somewhat last minute booking. He was patient during the booking process when my phone kept losing service in the area and I had to call him back 3 times! My kids have done some indoor climbing but, other than that, no climbing experience. Our guide, Cheyenne, was very encouraging and was able to tailor the climbs to each climber’s comfort level. He was very attentive to safety, and I felt comfortable that we were safe at all times, while still being able to try routes that were challenging for us. I would recommend this experience to anyone. Don’t miss out on a fantastic experience...one that you will not forget. And who knows, may lead to a new passion!
