Description 

Kathy's Crack is a left-angling crack to the left of Stone Groove. The route follows a the crack which is filled with grass and shrubs before finishing on typical 11-Mile bathtubs. Best bet is to climb the crack and then bathtubs until reaching an easy traverse to the left ending in the descent gully. Note: Would be a decent beginner lead if it was cleaned. I climbed this route with a 70m rope but a 60 should reach if you traverse left 20-30ft after the crack ends and bathtubs begin. With a 50m one should find a good spot toward the end of the crack to build a belay.

Location 

From the base of 11 Mile Dome, hike south 75ft and then up the gully 150ft. Kathy's Crack is the definable crack system left of Stone Groove which is an obvious, right-facing, wide crack. Currently, it's full of grass and shrubs.

Protection 

A few small to medium cams.
