We loved our day with Sylvan Rocks! This is a must-do in the Black Hills! We had 2 adults and our 2 kids, age 7 & 8. We had all climbed at a couple indoor gyms before. That experience wasn't necessary but this was the perfect next step. Brandon was super patient and encouraging, and made us feel really safe. My husband and kids are athletic, but I am not and my son gets nervous trying new things. I couldn't believe the wall we climbed! In our 4 hours, we each tried several different climbs plus more for the kids, in a spectacularly beautiful setting. Long sleeves and durable pants recommended or you will get scraped up a bit. The awesome grippy shoes make you feel like spiderman! It was definitely a highlight of our trip and left us wanting to go again! (also felt safe with Covid concerns - staff wore masks when inside with us and the rest of the time we were in open air with plenty of space).
What a great excision in Custer at Lake Sylvan. My daughters (12, 14 and 16) were given the choice between biking, ATVIng, and horseback riding. They unanimously chose climbing and I’m so happy that we chose Sylvan Rocks as our outfitter. Chris, Ryan and Bears were able to meet you at your level and provide you with the safe knowledge and comfort to start small and climb BIG! at the end of 4 hours. *CLIMBING EXPERIENCE IS NOT NEEDED! They will meet you where you’re at. At the end of the 4 hours we easily climbed confident and successfully up 6-7 different paths up the spires. I can’t speak highly enough of this outfitter. They were A-amazing! You can’t go wrong with them.
