We've been climbing with Sylvan Rocks for years and each time it is a highlight of our trip to SD. Our guide over the years has been Chris, who is always friendly and attentive to your safety and skill level. We strongly recommended Sylvan Rocks for an adventure of a lifetime!
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.
We had such an amazing time! Brandon was our guide and he was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and personable! My husband and I went for the 6 hr climb package and it was everything that we hoped it would be! We were challenged and exhilarated, yet felt very safe the entire time! We are novice climbers and Brandon invested the time to teach us basic climbing skills-which we greatly appreciated. He was amazing at gauging our comfort level and providing us with climbs that were a great fit for us with amazing views! We can’t say enough great things about Brandon at Sylvan Rocks and we can’t wait to bring our kids back to experience the challenge and fun that climbing provides! This package is an amazing value for the investment! Climb on! : ).
