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!
Brandon worked with me on the timing of our trip, allowing me to finish up a day of work and go in the late afternoon/evening. Showed me the foundational skills of safe climbing , within the time we had and even guided me up a ~100' 5.5 climb. He is an hard working, safety focused, and inspiring young man that I wouldn't hesitate to go out with again. His crew is great.
My friend and I were looking for our first outdoor climbing endeavor, so we booked the 6-hour Palisades climb. It was an amazing experience. Our guide Jeff was easy to communicate with beforehand, even when we thought plans had to be rearranged. Day of we had a blast, Jeff was safe, helpful and just a fun, nice guy. I look forward to climbing through Sylvan again!!
