Devils Tower Blitz

  • 2 Day Devils Tower Blitz

    The two-day Devils Tower Blitz course gives you a great shot at reaching the summit of Devils Tower. On this course, we will spend a day climbing together to make sure that you are climbing at the ability required to summit Devils Tower. Your guide will focus on climbing efficiently in a multi-pitch setting. The first day of this course takes place as an eight-hour guide day in Custer State Park, South Dakota, although the day may be shorter if we cover the needed skills and YOU choose to save energy for the main event. At the end of the first day, your guide will make an honest assessment of your abilities, and decide whether or not a summit attempt is feasible for your skill level. If it is decided that a summit attempt will be made, on the second day of your package, you will meet your guide at Devils Tower National Monument EARLY (sometimes as early as 3:30 am), and push for a summit. Early start times are crucial to avoid the crowds, as well as extremely high temperatures experienced at Devils Tower. If your guide decides that a summit attempt is not feasible, you will be able to spend a second day climbing in Custer State Park or Mount Rushmore National Memorial.

    This course is great for those who have spent time in rock climbing gyms, as well as those who have a little outdoor climbing experience. This course may be suitable for you if you enjoy a serious physical challenge, and are willing to learn a lot of new skills in a very short period of time.
  • 3 Day Devils Tower Blitz

We spend two six-hour climbing days in Custer State Park building skills and knowledge so you can be as efficient as possible during a potential Devils Tower summit attempt. At the end of your second day, your guide will make an honest assessment of your abilities, and decide whether a summit attempt is feasible for your skill level. If it is decided that a summit attempt will be made, on the third day of your package, you will meet your guide at Devils Tower National Monument EARLY (sometimes as early as 3:30 am), and push for a summit. Early start times are crucial to avoid crowds, as well as extremely high temperatures experienced at Devils Tower. If your guide decides that a summit attempt is not feasible, you will be able to spend a third day climbing in Custer State Park or Mount Rushmore National Memorial.

    For experienced climbers, this trip is three days with a guide, covering as much vertical terrain as possible. For new climbers, this is your greatest opportunity to hone your skills and make a successful summit attempt of Devils Tower.

Went with three kids (9, 8, 7 years old) and husband. Shankar was FANTASTIC! Got all three kids to the top, and both adults. None of us had any previous climbing experience. This was by far the highlight of our trip to SD. Best way to experience Custer Park!

My family took Sylvan's beginning rock climbing class and I would recommend it 100%! We have an 11 and 14 year old and my husband and I felt assured that safety was Sylvan's priority. Our instructor, Ryan did a terrific job explaining techniques at an understandable pace and was very patient. He made sure we mastered each progression before moving on so we didn't feel rushed into the next level. We were all confidently climbing 50 feet by the end of our class. You couldn't ask for a more picturesque, safe, well-organized, and fun experience for the whole family. Thanks, Ryan and Sylvan Climbing School!

Had a great 3-day climbing trip with my two sons. We climbed around Sylvan Lake day 1, the Cathedral Spires day 2, and Devils Tower day 3. Doug and Chris were incredible guides that always kept us both safe and challenged. Lifetime experience!
