We were a group of 8 with varying skill levels and our guides were amazing. They worked together to ensure that we all felt comfortable on the wall, set up multiple routes, instructed those that needed it and trusted those that didn't. We all had a great time and learned a lot! I would say this is a must do activity if you are spending any time in Custer State Park.
Our climbing outing with Sylvan Rocks was unforgettable! My husband and I did an 8-hour guided tour with Brandon--who was VERY knowledgeable. He designed the day specifically for us: bringing us to routes that fit our needs and ability levels. We climbed a variety of routes that ranged in difficulty, including a multi-pitch climb. It was clear Brandon took safety seriously, so we felt comfortable the entire time. What a wonderful way to see the Black Hills! For context, we had some experience climbing in a gym before our trip and typically climb 5.9-5.10 routes. The climbing in the Black Hills was challenging and fun!
My 12-year-old daughter and I did the 2-day devils tower blast trip, and we had an amazing time!! I had climbed Custer state park and Devils Tower multiple times, and this was the best time out yet! Our guide, Doug, was informative, encouraging, and an awesome person! Our day on the tower was perfect with Doug leading the way! I loved the setup, the information, the safety, and now my daughter and I have a memory that will last a lifetime!!! We can’t wait for our next trip!
