Upper Pilots Knob is a climbing area in Arkansas, about a mile from the town of Batavia. It sits close to the Lower Pilots Knob and Hair Lip Boulder climbing areas, both roughly 0.3 miles away, which makes it easy to combine with those spots in one trip. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 70°F in April to 71°F in October, while July and August average highs near 89°F. That station sits several hundred feet lower than the knob, so temperatures up top run cooler. For time on the water, Long Creek is about 5.7 miles away and Osage Creek about 8.8 miles away, both canoeing routes.
