Upper Irish Boulders is a climbing area in Vallecito Open Space, a regional agency-managed open space in California. It sits among a cluster of bouldering spots, with Lower Irish Boulders, Conejo Boulders and Mystery Science Theater all about 0.1 mile away. The weather station at Camarillo, about 7 miles away, records typical averages that make late spring through early fall the most comfortable time to visit. Typical highs run from about 72°F in May to 80°F in September, with almost no wet days from June through September. That station sits roughly 900 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures up here run cooler.
