			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>On Saturdays, I&#8217;m going to try to post testimonials from clients from trips over the past week or so. It&#8217;s always so encouraging to know that we are impacting people&#8217;s lives in a positive way. It is an honor to serve you all! Here&#8217;s what our clients are saying:<span id="more-1666"></span></h4>
<p>The Moore&#8217;s Wall trip was one of the most amazing climbing experiences of my life. Every moment of the experience was enjoyable, and I can&#8217;t wait to climb with Ascent Adventure Consultants again. Easily worth the six-hour drive from DC. Great guides and great experience.<br />
- Grant, Climbing Course Participant</p>
<p>Taking this class taught me alot and confirmed things I had already been in the process of learning. Even though I have much more to learn it allowed me to feel confident, to go with my partner, and climb outside at my current level.<br />
-Chris, Climb Outside Class Participant</p>
<p>Anyone who likes to experience outdoor challenges has a responsibility to themselves and others in their group to know what to do when things go wrong.  And in the<br />
outdoors, there&#8217;s always something you didn&#8217;t count on.<br />
-Jodi, Wilderness First Aid Class student</p>
<p>This was not my first class in Wilderness First Aid.   It was my best class in Wilderness First Aid.   McCracken wins the best instructor award hands down.<br />
-David, Wilderness First Aid Class student</p>
<p>The instructor effectively drew from the experiences of the group to demonstrate/highlight the real world implications of the material.  Good balance of formal textbook time and anecdotal experience.<br />
-Jeff, Wilderness First Aid Class student</p>
<p>This is a highly-engaging and interactive class which provides practical and essential skills for anyone participating in activities in the outdoors.<br />
-Tom, Wilderness First Aid Class student</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From Katie, Table Rock Climbing Trip participant:</p>
<p>Brandon is a true professional when it comes to guiding climbs. He&#8217;s an excellent teacher, and his problem solving ability is extraordinary. During the first hour of my first outdoor climb, I encountered an obstacle I didn&#8217;t think I could overcome. After twenty minutes of attempting to negotiate the obstacle, I shouted, &#8220;Brandon? I don&#8217;t think I can make it across this gap to scale that overhang the way you just did. How do we get down?&#8221; <span id="more-1399"></span>He said, &#8220;We can&#8217;t get down from there. If you can&#8217;t do it that way, let me figure something else out.&#8221; He drew from his <a href="http://www.ascentadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/kate-climbing-peek-a-boo-table-rock-nc.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1403" title="kate-climbing-peek-a-boo-table-rock-nc" src="http://www.ascentadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/kate-climbing-3-198x300.jpg" alt="kate-climbing-peek-a-boo-table-rock-nc" width="198" height="300" /></a>experience and came up with a creative solution that kept me in the game. He continued to impress me throughout the trip with his patience, encouragement, and skill. I am definitely <a href="http://www.ascentadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/kate-brandon-teach-trad-climbing-use-cam-how-to-north-carolina-rock-climbing.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1402" title="kate-brandon-teach-trad-climbing-use-cam-how-to-north-carolina-rock-climbing" src="http://www.ascentadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/kate-brandon-300x198.jpg" alt="kate-brandon-teach-trad-climbing-use-cam-how-to-north-carolina-rock-climbing" width="300" height="198" /></a>looking forward to my next climbing experience.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This was not my first trip with Ascent Adventure Consultants, nor will it be my last.   Brandon Hensinger led my cousin Katie and I up Peekaboo, a two-pitch 5.5 at Linville Gorge Table Rock, in North Carolina. Though I have prior multi-pitch experience, this was Katie&#8217;s first time climbing anything outdoors.  I was confident that Brandon could keep us safe while helping us to reach beyond perceived limitations.  It was a great climb!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ascent Adventure Consultants, North Carolina’s fastest growing rock climbing guide company, has unveiled a re-branding of the company, as well as a new website.</p>
<p>Apex, NC USA May 1, 2009 &#8212; Ascent Adventure Consultants is about impacting people’s lives and setting them out on the journey and adventure of a lifetime: when people experience climbing a cliff face, they are instantly aware of the existence of a whole new world; when people engage their fellow teammates or employees in a team building activity, they realize the greater degree of unity and success their team could be experiencing.</p>
<p><span id="more-1040"></span></p>
<p>Out of a desire to increase their ability to do that very thing, Ascent Adventure Consultants has re-branded the company, and has launched a new website, aimed at communicating their core message: “Bringing Adventure to Life.” Their new identity communicates that they are not simply a climbing guiding company or team building facilitation company, but rather they are a company that helps people escape from the normal routine of life and experience something new and invigorating, and accomplish something that previously may have seemed out of reach. They do this through their  <a href="http://www.ascentadventure.com">climbing trips and team building programs</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our new image will increase our ability to guide individuals on climbing trips and help business succeed through team building, which brings us great joy,&#8221; expresses Brandon Hensinger, owner of Ascent Adventure Consultants. &#8220;We look forward to seeing how our re-branding helps us impact our community through our courses in an even greater way, and to seeing how we can increase our ability to introduce people to a whole other world that exists.&#8221;</p>
<p>To support the re-branding of the company, Ascent Adventure Consultants has many climbing events coming up this summer and fall, along with new classes and new trips being launched. Make sure to visit their new <a href="http://www.ascentadventure.com">North Carolina rock climbing and team building website at www.ascentadventure.com.</a></p>
<p>Ascent Adventure Consultants is a professional rock climbing guiding and team building facilitation company headquartered in Apex NC. They guide trips and facilitate training courses throughout NC, the USA, and the world.</p>
<p>For more information, please contact Brandon Hensinger, owner of Ascent Adventure Consultants of Apex NC, at bhensinger@ascentadventure.com, or 877-254-4617. More information can be learned about Ascent Adventure Consultants by visiting their website at http://www.ascentadventure.com.</p>
