Adventure of a Lifetime

Matt Scherer

Matt fell in love with climbing after a guided trip up the Grand Teton at the age of 15. Since that trip he has pursued a life of climbing and adventure. Growing up climbing in the Black Hills of South Dakota, Matt amassed a wealth of knowledge about the area and the history. In the off season you can find Matt on a sandy big-wall in Zion, a windy desert tower or an extremely windy peak in Patagonia. Matt took his love for rock climbing, and decided to turn it into a career when he began guiding for Sylvan Rocks in 2024. Climbing is Matt’s passion, but the friendships, memories, and sleeping in the dirt keep the fire burning strong.

I highly recommend Sylvan Rocks for anyone seeking a quality climbing experience. We had an awesome outing. Our guides (Chris, Bears & Ryan) were phenominal and provided just the right amount of instruction, encouragement, support, and challenge for each of the individual climbers in our group (who ranged from first-time climbers to very experienced). Sylvan Rocks is outstanding!

5 stars

Jeff and Jeff made my first outdoor climbing trip wonderfully safe, comfortable, and feeling awesome! They were full of encouragement, patience, and joy. Highly recommend!
