Awesome experience! Daryl was our guide and he was great. He was personable and knowledgeable. He was a patient instructor and made sure we had a fun time. The climbs were a blast.

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.
As a group of a 7 y/o who proved to be a bit afraid of climbing very high, an adult female who was afraid of heights, and 2 adult males (with slightly varying fitness abilities), all 4 of us had a great time. Our guide Brandon was extremely patient and able to challenge all of us and make us all feel like we really accomplished something! The area we climbed was challenging enough without being too challenging, and offered great views. None of us had ever rock climbed on real rocks before, but yet we felt extremely safe the whole time. As a company, they were extremely flexible with us making a last minute reservation. This is easily my number 1 suggestion for a thing to do while in the area!
