Kitty Doll is a climbing area in Harriman State Park in New York, managed by State Park and Recreation. It sits among several other climbing spots, with The Ear and Kitty Corners each about 0.1 mile away, and The Beard at the same distance. The White Diamond Trail starts about 0.2 mile off, so it's easy to pair a climb with a walk. The area has six routes, five of them sport and one mixed, with grades ranging from 5.2 to 5.7+. K Litter is the easiest at 5.2, and Kross Right is the hardest at 5.7+. The mixed route Kitty Crawl is 5.6. All were first ascended by Ken Roberts or TR Sharon and Ken Roberts between 2016 and 2016. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 76°F, with July peaking near 84°F. Nearby, the Ramapo River offers fishing about 4 miles away, and Monksville Reservoir is about 8 miles off.
