The guides were very professional, helpful and encouraging. My son and I had a great time and we learned quite a bit.
New Climber Adventures
I reached out to Sylvan Rocks about attempting an ascent of Devil's Tower - and they were amazing! I fully recommend them to anyone interested in the Tower, in climbing at Custer State Park, or climbing on Mt. Rushmore itself. My guide for the week was Doug, and I can't recommend him enough. I have significant experience as a climber, and Doug was both respectful of my experience, and informative about how and why he was doing everything. We had a great three days of climbing - two days of warm-up and prep, and then a full-day of climbing on Devil's Tower itself. I got a ton of climbing in, and had an amazing time! I absolutely hope to come back again soon!
Our family of four (kids 13 and 11) had a fantastic time climbing with Sylvan Rocks! It has been the highlight of our trip and an experience none of us will ever forget. The co-owner, Jeff, was very friendly and flexible with our somewhat last minute booking. He was patient during the booking process when my phone kept losing service in the area and I had to call him back 3 times! My kids have done some indoor climbing but, other than that, no climbing experience. Our guide, Cheyenne, was very encouraging and was able to tailor the climbs to each climber’s comfort level. He was very attentive to safety, and I felt comfortable that we were safe at all times, while still being able to try routes that were challenging for us. I would recommend this experience to anyone. Don’t miss out on a fantastic experience...one that you will not forget. And who knows, may lead to a new passion!
