Mystery Science Theater is a climbing area in Vallecito Open Space in California, on land managed by a regional agency. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots, with Conejo Boulders, Hangout Area and Upper Irish Boulders all about 0.1 mile away. The Powerline Trail is about 0.3 mile off, and the Index Finger Trail is about 0.6 mile away. The most comfortable time to visit is summer, when typical highs reach about 78 to 80°F with almost no wet days, according to averages from a nearby weather station at Camarillo. That station sits about 890 feet below the area, so temperatures here run cooler. Winter highs typically hover around 68°F with lows near 45°F.
