Charlie Creese

Also known as Wrinkle

Quick Info

From: New Zealand 🇳🇿
Gender: Male
Hardest Boulder (Worked): 7B
Hardest Trad (Worked): E7

Strong-fingered Kiwi whose first ascents were world-standard in the early 80s.

The things that shocked us about Charlie were, one, that he was so much better than we were and, secondly, that he had embraced a modern climbing ethic.
