Great experience, the instruction felt personal, and time on the rocks was maximized. Shoutout to the incredible instructors, Shankar, Carissa and Taylor; they were relaxed, down to earth and cool. They were thorough with safety and technique, and I felt confident with the basic knowledge I left with.
My best friend and I are novice climbers from Tennessee, and we wanted to climb Devils Tower. Jeff took us through a great introductory course at Custer State Park, and slowly built us up. The next day, we were able to summit the tower. Jeff is incredibly knowledgeable, safe, and fun to be around. As you can imagine, this climb is a stressful event, but Jeff kept us motivated. I could not recommend Sylvan Rocks more. Fantastic experience. I will likely be back with my family again.
Me, wife and 10 year old son climbed with Daryl. Basically zero previous experience. Outstanding physical and educational experience. I was surprised what I was able to climb! Read the 1952 paper by Herb Conn online and hire Daryl. You won't regret it.
