Description
Katrina is a slabby climb that starts in the shaded Afungusamongus corridor. A hollow flake starts you off in getting to a high first bolt (most of us will want a stickclip especially given the state of flake). Run it out to the second bolt (you could maybe place small-finger sized cams or sling a horn). Continue up a slab weaving back and forth across the bolt line for whatever features you can find until you can catch a break at the small arch feature, then prepare for the crux. Undercling nothing, smear on even more nothing, and tip toe your way to freedom.
Location
In the Afungusamongus Corridor, this is the middle climb.
Protection
10 or so bolts to a 2 bolt anchor. You could place some supplemental gear.
