Whether it’s on a ski traverse across Baffin Islands Sam Ford fjord, running rivers in Yukon or backpacking in the Rockies Charles is a welcome addition to any expedition.  He has a tireless mind, analytical and sharp always finding interesting perspectives and new ways of exploring remote areas. He is also an inspiring leader with an ear to the ground who finds the right words at the right time to make sure everyone knows why we’re going where we’re going, and he simply leads the way.
