Lower Pilots Knob is a climbing area in Arkansas, about a mile from the town of Batavia. It sits close to several other climbing spots, making it an easy addition to a day spent exploring the surrounding rock. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show April highs around 70°F and October highs around 71°F, while July and August average highs near 89°F. That station sits a few hundred feet lower than the knob, so temperatures on the knob run a little cooler. Hair Lip Boulder is just 0.1 mile away, and Upper Pilots Knob is about 0.3 mile off. For time on the water, Long Creek is about 6 miles away and Osage Creek about 9 miles away.
