For more details see his 8a scorecard.
Longstanding left streak project finally went! I went straight up into the block of La Creme, a harder right variation is yet to go. Spent a lot of time on this last year after I did Brian but couldn't even hold the holds, after a lot of training over the past few months I was back and it went fairly quickly. Something like an 8A/+ boulder in the middle of the wall!
Nice one Ellis, not knowing Ansteys very well is there a pic/vid of the line?

It is the left hand red, dotted arrow labelled 'P' (for project) on the topo going going up the grey streak to the left of Postman Pat (route 8 on the topo). I hope this dropbox link works. www.dropbox.com/home?preview=IMG_1918.JPG
Didn't work for me either, just took me to my own dropbox.
I have uploaded it to Imgur this time, here is the topo. (I deleted the http:// before the dropbox link like I do to embed youtube videos on here, maybe that's where it went wrong but I digress)http://i.imgur.com/IIGYODl.jpg

He's not weak.
Wonder who the belayer was?
UKC contacted the belayer, Dom Taylor. He responded as follows:"Yes I can vouch for Ellis's ascent. He spent Tuesday afternoon working the route but the ascent was done in the dark. We did look at filming for all the reasons mentioned but nothing was showing up on the camera.Hope this helps,Dom."
Ellis if you're reading this get over to Blackers Hole and do Bob's route!
