Access Issue: Line Fire Closure in effect until 11/30/2024
Details
All Forest Service roads and access to the forest are closed due to the recent, and still ongoing, Line Fire.
Closure is in effect until the end of November, but given current conditions and precedent, it's unlikely they will open back up this season.

Description
Katrina Wall is the north-most of the central walls of Voodoo Garden. It faces east and north and is home to some of the best routes in the Holcomb area. All routes are bolted and feature nice movement, sometimes quite sequential, with moments of airy exposure. Although there are occasional flakes of questionable solidity, the quality of rock is very good; most of the holds are solid and the routes clean, despite not having been climbed much at this point. Named for the hurricane that almost wiped out New Orleans in 05, the route names on Katrina call to mind the flavor of the Big Easy.
