Start left of Katana on two opposing edges under the small roof. Move unto and undercling and directly into crimps. Blast to the ramp and mantle over to top out low with help from a jug. This line doesn't continue to the high apex as Katana.

Shadow Boxer

Throwing Stars

Kakute

Katana

Nun-chucks

This line is awesome, although hidden and is a tight corridor. When on the opposite side of the tunnel (squeeze through the tight tunnel between Katana and Samurai, this is the inner face of Katana Boulder), this line is the closest to the tunnel and is the left most of this portion of the climbable face. 

  Start low on a nice rail and follow the direct line, trending slightly right, of edges to the top.

This line is awesome, although hidden and is a tight corridor. When on the opposite side of the tunnel (squeeze through the tight tunnel between Katana and Samurai, this is the inner face of Katana Boulder), this line is the middle direct line on this inner face (right of Throwing, Left of Nun-chucks). 

  Start on the rail and work directly up nice edges to the easy top out.

This stunning problem would get 4 stars if the left "Katana crimp" wasn't as heinous. If you dont mind a sharp iron edge, this line is excellent.  

  On the rightmost inside corner locate the downward pointing flake feature and match the opposite facing underclings (left side is great and right side is thin) to stand start. 

  Gain the small pinch above, work left to match the better undercling and lock off the heinous iron flake above.  

  Reach back to the right, thin crimp with a high right foot. Move directly up to a long diagonal. Hit the ramp and compress the ramp and additional diagonals higher on the face. 

  Climb the block direct to the highest apex to top out.

Not a bad line, although shorter and hidden and is a tight corridor. When on the opposite side of the tunnel (squeeze through the tight tunnel between Katana and Samurai, this is the inner face of Katana Boulder), this line is the right most and shorter section of face to the right of Kakute. 

  Sit start on edges/rail and work directly up to the easy top.

This block is directly left (when looking from the trail) and touching the Samurai Boulder. 

  The vertical (just slightly overhung) face is home to several fun and a few challenging lines. Bring extra pads for Katana and Shadow Boxer.
