Awesome day up in the Cathedral Spires. My guide, Doug, was extremely knowledgeable, comminicative, attentive and fun for the entire day. Could not rate more highly. I booked for a one day 1-on-1 guided trip with them and had a great time.

Hands down our best climbing day with a guide ever. Everyone had an opportunity to climb at their level and also challenge themselves. Our guide listened and asked questions to make sure he was delivering on how we wanted to spend our time and was thoughtful and engaging. We had fun climbing but also just being together as a family having an experience. I'd recommend Doug and Sylvan to any one.

Excellent guide service! We did one day of guided climbing out of a whole week of climbing on our own in June 2021. I was impressed by how Sylvan rocks tailored our guided day to our goals. My wife and I had goals of working on dialing in our systems during multipitch climbs. We had some minimal trad climbing and multipitch experience going into our day. Jeff, one of the co-owners, took us up spire two and spire four and provided education on rope and climber management at every step of the way. He tailored the day, taking into account our past experience and our goals. We got to go on some great climbs and added to our toolbox of skills. I was very appreciative of the extra time Jeff took to discuss climbs we could consider for the rest of the week after our guided trip had finished. The beta was much appreciated and added a lot of value to the rest of our week in the black hills.
