Ultraviolet
Description
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.
Location
Located between Atlantis and Purple Haze, it climbs a shallow scoop off the sloping slab directly to the good cobble jug where Atlantis goes straight up after it's leftwards traverse at about 12' high. The holds are tiny, micro edges. and the right hand hold is 2 seperate one finger super thin edges.
Protection
You should bring your best highball head for this one. Although pads were not used on the F.A. they would be nice. Despite rumors to the contrary, the landing is unchanged from the time of the 1st ascent.
