Danny has true field experience, and it shows in his teaching style.  I have taken too many first aid and CPR classes directed towards the corporate setting where the instructors had no field experience and had just been through the classes to be certified to instruct.

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!

I just wanted to let you know that my day at Stone Mountain was pretty freaking awesome. Daniel did a great job of choosing the route to suit my goals AND the weather (the rock was still a little damp in sections, which worked fine on The Great Arch!).  He was also extremely pleasant as well as totally safety-conscious, so it was a really nice, chill day outside in beautiful weather.  If anyone ever asks me, I will definitely recommend you guys, and I’m looking forward to future trips with you!

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 »
