Wife and I did a 6 hour with Brandon. We’d both climbed indoors a bunch, but we’d never done the real thing. We managed to hit 4 very different routes by Sylvan Lake. Brandon was knowledgeable, safe, and generally a great time. I loved every minute of it.
My husband and I were in the Black Hills for vacation and booked 6 hrs of guided climbing at Custer State Park through Sylvan Rocks. We had a great time. Our guide Doug was great. He was really professional and a good teacher, but also really fun. We climbed several routes and everything we did was personalized to us and what we wanted to get out of the session. Can’t recommend enough. We only had indoor climbing experience prior to this, so I would say it was pretty beginner friendly.
Our guide Ryan was the best at assessing our skill level and very patient with us as we learned how to rock climb. My wife and I had no prior experience, and we were surprised by the end of the session at how much we accomplished in just 6 hours. We were able to climb some awesome cliffs with amazing views from the top. We felt very safe as well, as Ryan triple checked our safety harnesses/devices and kept a very close eye on us. Overall, amazing and unique experience…I would do it again if I was in the area.
