"I like Charles' routes for the feeling of flow that occurred when the proper sequence was unlocked" - climber


"The routes that Charles creates flow while still having a wide variety of movement to keep you engaged. These are the key routesetting skills: solid technique, creativity, insight, and an empathy for the way others climb - all of which he has in spades." - climbing wall owner


"Charles consistently made the best climbs, by far. The problems always flowed and combined power with technical motion to create a truly enjoyable experience. I couldn't recommend Charles enough as a route setter and I had the pleasure of enjoying his climbs from when I started climbing, right up to climbing more advanced grades."  - climber


"Charles' routesetting has multiple elements to it, it is far more than just individual moves together, each move lead to another seamlessly" - climber


"Even though you're a tall guy, you always manage to set really nice and technical problems for the shorter climbers. One of my favourite climbs was the purple (7b+), and I fell off almost every move, thinking it was way too hard and 'reachy'. But, after some persistence, I realised you had placed footholds where necessary, it all seemed doable. I sent the climb a couple of weeks later and was super stoked"  - climber
