When looking at the little jug on purple prow on the big overhanging prow section, purple squeeze climbs the left arête.  Just like name of the climb, the climb squeezes up the arête using slopers and strong compression moves.  Finishes straight up.

Purple Squeeze

Ultraviolet

Broken Flake

Purple Prow

Climb up the big flake to a sloping mantle at a ledge. Be careful not to fall on opposite facing boulder.

This is unrepeated despite attempts by many strong climbers. Begin between Atlantis and Purple Haze on the rock slab. Extremely difficult micro fingernail edges up a shallow scoop (V10+)  lead to the horizontal band where Atlantis ends it's leftward traverse at a good cobble. From there, tricky V4 edges and pockets lead to a heady topout.  I worked on this with Mike Waugh & Jan McCollum for several days and spent the better part of 15 or more days attempting it.

Beautiful route in the northeast side of the naked edge boulder.  The climb starts down low on cobble edges, works straight up a series of crimps on the right side of the arête and then moves left going under the prow to the little jug.  From here, continue moving left and then up the obvious edges to the top.

This is a proud send and a must do if you climb at the grade!
