Learning to climb outdoors was amazing with a guide like Ryan in a setting as beautiful as Sylvan Lake. The challenge was perfect. I loved that my son learned how to climb safely with the help of his guide. This picture makes me think that what is a beginner climber today might be a skilled guide in the future! Reach for your goals! Thank you, Sylvan Rocks Climbing School!
We had an incredible experience with our guides Ryan and Chris. They were great with our kids (ages 8 and 10). My youngest was very nervous to try some of the routes. Chris helped her get started on an easy route that gave her the confidence to try all the others. They were great about assessing all of our abilities and making sure we all had a challenge, but not so much that we couldn't climb. This was our favorite activity that we did while on vacation. They were also extremely safe, checking our gear and their own gear before every single climb.
Great experience in the Black Hills! Ryan was an awesome guide for my first time rock climbing. Definitely recommend.
