Phenomenal service! Took a 3-day climbing trip. Brandon, Zayne and Ryan are all fantastic guides. They had everything we needed and took us on a ton of amazing climbs through multiple parks. I highly recommend Sylvan Rocks Climbing School for your next climbing adventure.

Jeff took me and my best friend out in the Black Hills in South Dakota, and we absolutely loved it! Felt safe, secure, learned a lot, and had a blast. Thanks, Sylvan Rocks!
