UKC Logbook Description
A fine climb taking the two disjointed buttresses above the customs post. Don't be put off by the mossy start. Two distinct cruxes, pitch 4, a steep crack, and 7, a height dependant roof (FFA - Neil Foster 7 Sept 2004). 2x50m, 12 quickdraws, 6b oblig. Named in honor of Charly the Swiss customs man who appeared with his binoculars everytime he heard the roar of the Hilti.
