The class and instruction were superb!

Danel, Climb Outside Class Participant

The whole trip was wonderful. The best part for me was the Wailing Wall climb. The start of that climb was very difficult for me, and because this was toward the end of the day, I was pretty tired and feeling like I wasn’t going to be able to do it.  I did make it, with some wailing on my own at certain moments. Jason was a wonderful guide; he talked me through the scary moments and made me feel completely safe. I had only  done sport climbing prior to this trip, so Jason took the time to teach me about all of the gear involved in trad. I learned a lot and will definitely be signing up for more trips in the future. I can’t thank you enough.

This was not my first trip with Ascent Adventure, 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’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!

Brandon is a great, reliable, friendly individual with a great depth of knowledge and expertise in climbing and outdoor recreation. His passion for sharing the outdoors and climbing with others really shows through in everything he does. He’s professional but still a lot of fun, and I would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone who is considering working with him.

From Katie, Table Rock Climbing Trip participant:

Brandon is a true professional when it comes to guiding climbs. He’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’t think I could overcome. After twenty minutes of attempting to negotiate the obstacle, I shouted, “Brandon? I don’t think I can make it across this gap to scale that overhang the way you just did. How do we get down?” Read the rest of this entry »

Scott is one of Ascent Adventure Consultants NC based guides. He has been escaping into the wilderness for as long as he can remember, hiking and backpacking in Southern Missouri and Arkansas. For the last 5 years he has been climbing in North Carolina with regular trips to climb in Europe, (mostly Southern Germany and Northern Italy) as well as The New River and Red River Gorges. He is looking forward to doing more alpine and alpine rock climbing. One thing he truly enjoys is getting new people introduced to climbing and seeing them improve.
