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!
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.
My boyfriend and I booked a 6 hour session with Shankar, and had a fantastic time! We both have indoor climbing experience, him some outdoor climbing experience, and we were afraid that we wouldn't find climbs that were "just right" for us. Shankar did an excellent job picking climbs for us, he made it fun, and we felt super safe the entire time. I highly recommend booking with him at Sylvan Rocks!
