What a great excision in Custer at Lake Sylvan. My daughters (12, 14 and 16) were given the choice between biking, ATVIng, and horseback riding. They unanimously chose climbing and I’m so happy that we chose Sylvan Rocks as our outfitter. Chris, Ryan and Bears were able to meet you at your level and provide you with the safe knowledge and comfort to start small and climb BIG! at the end of 4 hours. *CLIMBING EXPERIENCE IS NOT NEEDED! They will meet you where you’re at. At the end of the 4 hours we easily climbed confident and successfully up 6-7 different paths up the spires. I can’t speak highly enough of this outfitter. They were A-amazing! You can’t go wrong with them.

We chose to rock climb as a family of four last minute and we're so glad we did. It was one of the highlights of our South Dakota trip. Daryl found us a guide who was personable and patient. My 5 and 7 year old were able to climb 15 and 30 foot cliffs and my wife and I found the climbs exhilarating and fun. The price was reasonable and it fit well into a day trip to Custer State Park.

My girlfriend and I went climbing with Brandon and his team for our first climb in the Black Hills. They are great at explaining things, taking you to the best locations, and being safe. Recommend these guys all the way! Can't wait to come back!
