Great experience as always with these guys! The 24th with great weather and climbing conditions saw us get in 10 routes. Really fun and learned so much!
Where We Climb
My cousin and I went out for our first climbing experience. We went with Doug as our guide. Doug helped us understand the equipment, the techniques, then used our ability, physical condition, and what we were after and put us on the perfect route on the cathedral spires to cap off the best trip I’ve been on ever. His knowledge, experience and just general calmness made us feel like we had knew him for years and helped calm any nerves. I would recommend this to any thrill seeker or just looking for something different. Doug is the real deal can’t wait to bring my family back out and for sure trying to get Doug.
Took the 4 hr trip with me and my 7 year old. The entire process from booking our trip to signing the consent on line to the end getting into our car and leaving was seemless. They made everything very convenient and hassle free. I would say that this is the best money spent as far as “attractions” go in the Black Hills although, I do feel that Sylvan Rocks is on a different level than the standard Black Hills tourist trap. Whether you’re a local or in the area on vacation, I highly recommend this guide service. We had Ryan as our guide and he was awesome. He was great with my 7 year old and provided great instruction for both of us. Definitely will be booking another trip with my wife sometime in the future to get a little more time climbing and probably do the 6 or 8 hr option. In conclusion, if you want to experience the hills, book a climbing trip with Sylvan Rocks. It’s the most bang for your buck and I can guarantee you won’t regret it!
