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.

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.

An absolutely amazing and insane day, hundreds of feet of straight rock faces climbed, adrenaline all the time, and I even felt very safe the whole time even though I was way off the ground. Amazing first experience outdoor climbing, Zane was also an amazing guide, he made the trip a lot more fun and relaxing throughout, highly suggest going.

We had a fantastic time today, Ryan and James were professional beyond measure. We brought our 4 grandchildren 11 - 6 and the guides were so patient with them providing a fun and educational opportunity for all. We were extremely impressed with the accomplishments that the kids made during the 4 hours. Sylvan Climbing School was a huge highlight of the trip! Highly recommend this as part of anyones vacation plans for the Black Hills.

We've been climbing with Sylvan Rocks for years and each time it is a highlight of our trip to SD. Our guide over the years has been Chris, who is always friendly and attentive to your safety and skill level. We strongly recommended Sylvan Rocks for an adventure of a lifetime!
