Graeme Breems

Graeme has been smitten with the outdoors since he was young, camping in the state parks of Illinois and roaming Indiana's dunes. While attending college in Michigan, his love of the mountains blossomed during summers when he went out west to work.

Graeme spent time in Montana, Wyoming, Washington and Arizona fighting fires and working in hospitality. He spent most weekends scrambling peaks, backpacking canyons, and finding climbing routes on the wall down the road from the ranger station. After graduating with a degree in Natural Resources Management he guided bike tours at the Grand Canyon and snowmobile tours in Yellowstone.

The past few years have found him in Spokane, Washington where he's spent all his spare time getting to know the North Cascades and northern Idaho's peaks. If he's not climbing you might find him playing music, packrafting, snowboarding, mountain biking, or getting into the backcountry with his wife and dog.

I highly recommend! Did the multiday course to climb Devil's Tower few days ago. Wasn't confident if I was ready from long breaks from casual indoor climbing in the past, but, they cater to you. Just go! You can trust the process. Brandon patiently explained the process when I called initially. Jeff had the experience, knowledge, professionalism, and patience to safely guide me up choice/amazing spots in the nearby state park in the Custer, SD area, while preparing us to go up Devil's Tower the next day. Everywhere we climbed was so cool. It must be said that the tower climb is a truly unforgettable, challenging, amazing, & surreal experience. Priceless indeed. Great company. Thanks Jeff!!

Our first "outdoor" climbing adventure - Custer State Park in the Black Hills. Brandon matched us to routes that were challenging but not so difficult we couldn't finish. His knowledge of the sport and the area are second to none. We summited 4 routes - and I was even able to "try" a 5th route graded at 5.11 a/b that was awesome. We are planning on returning next summer - hopefully with a few friends from our indoor gym. Haven and I recommend Sylvan Rocks without question!

Our family of six had a blast with our Sylvan Rocks. They make everyone comfortable and listen to the needs and desires of everyone in the group. A great time for everyone at any level!
