Caught between the 2 waypoints below MSA.
You do exactly what you would do in IMC on any instrument approach below MSA: You're committed to the approach track so
(a) you push through it and continue
(b) you push through it and go around, climb to MSA then turn, or
(c) you turn below MSA if you're damn sure about terrain.
