DNA Boulder is a climbing area in Massachusetts, about 1.5 miles from South Peabody. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots, so it works well as one stop in a day of bouldering in the area. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Marblehead show July highs around 80°F with lows near 61°F, and September still runs in the low 70s by day. Several climbing areas lie within a few tenths of a mile, including Additional Problems, Hillside Area and Backyard Giant, The. Mountain bikers can head to the Overlook Trail, about 0.6 miles away.
