Spontaneity | Ellis Butler-Barker
https://ellisbutlerbarker.wordpress.com/2014/12/21/spontaneity
December 21, 2014. Since I visited Fontainebleau back in October my climbing has been a bit all over the place, I’m not used to not having a focus but I’ve been doing a bit of everything; training routes, training boulders, sport, bouldering, competitions… So now I’m ready to train routes again ready for my trip to El Chorro in February. Prepossanne Stand, 8A. Competitions have been pretty fun too; I attended the Bristol Bouldering Championships at Bloc Climbing Centre where I finished 3rd to strong clim...

The Process: Brian | Ellis Butler-Barker

April 1, 2015. Brian 8c . Photo by Tom Wright. I first tried the route in 2014 just before a trip to Rodellar back in June 2014 and I had around 4 sessions, I felt fairly comfortable on the route but when I went to Spain I came back feeling really weak on the route and didn’t put much time into the route. I knew it was back on and I’d get the Easter holidays to have a few days on it to try and redpoint the route. Part of Brian 8c . Photo by Tom Wright. My Journey to El Chorro and 100 8’s.

My Journey to El Chorro and 100 8’s | Ellis Butler-Barker
https://ellisbutlerbarker.wordpress.com/2015/02/19/my-journey-to-el-chorro-and-100-8s
My Journey to El Chorro and 100 8’s. February 19, 2015. After a great trip to El Chorro last year where I managed to get my first 8a onsight and my quickest 8b repeat I thought a short trip there this February would be a great idea to start the year off and quickstart my outdoor climbing for the year. Last year on Trango. Shark Attack came the next day on the first redpoint of the day and I have to say that this is one of my favourite route that I’ve ever done alongside Geminis in Rodellar! I tried to do...

Cheddar Gorge Ascents | Ellis Butler-Barker
https://ellisbutlerbarker.wordpress.com/2015/05/21/cheddar-gorge-ascents
May 21, 2015. Sunset over Cheddar village. I’ve had some fun days out at Cheddar where I’ve mainly focussed on volume, some of more notable achievements however have been the first ascent of Fallingwater, 8c, my first couple of 8a onsights in the UK and my first proper headpoint ascent where I climbed Heaven-sent Direct, a scary and run out E7 6b. I was urged on by the huge crowd of public spectators which had no gathered by the road to watch and I topped out! Cheddar Gorge, Cheddar, Somerset BS27, UK.

January 1, 2015. On a really cool slabby arête. The first big trip of the year was to El Chorro with Charlotte in February I thought that this trip might be good for trying to onsight 8a, on the second day I came pretty close but dropped it at the very last move!

Wednesday, 30 January 2013. Month one of nothing. As of late Joble have got really psyched by the Mike Adams and co. Eastern Magnesium Limestone trail and have been seeking out the ever more rare and esoteric. We trudged around crisp white fields and muddy paths in a retreat-from-Moscow style trying to find Earth Quarry. I think because I was tired and it was soaking I wasn't massively impressed but Jo and James were keen as beans. I'll hold my. And wait to see it in a better state. Went to Almscliffe &#...

I know where: October 2013
http://knowhereboy.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Monday, 21 October 2013. And then he poured another drink. I've since been back to try Obscene Toilet but didn't like the crux, the tor feeling fades. After that I went to Majorca with my girlfriend, fell off 7as into luke warm bath water then boiled any internal water out of my skin sleeping in the hotel room. Once they stopped us on our sly booze runs it was just a fancy prison with less desirable clientèle. I enjoyed the beach party though, sand and drink is like rhubarb and custard.

Wednesday, 28 May 2014. Redpointing at various bars and clubs. It's over now, nothing serious, been over for a while but I still think of her. I walked past a few days later and saw her with another, a young girl from the south, while I looked at them doing the same dance we'd enjoyed not so long ago, I noticed her friend to the side. She looked a touch more difficult and with a blanker expression. I needed to know more, I need to figure her out. Malcolm, what are you doing thursday after work?
