I"m no pro welder, but most things I"ve welded have held just fine. I"ve used 6011 rod quite a lot for overhead welding and it has worked fine - you may have to play with the heat settings since that is much more critical.

I like to wear my leather jacket, brace up under the structure where I can see very well, but am not under the main drop of the spatter and brace where you can control the rod very precisely. A shorter arc will be easier to control. As with any welding, grind out the crack first, especially if it is dirty around it.
