Middlesex Fells is a climbing area in Massachusetts, about 0.8 miles from Wyoming. It sits close to a cluster of short trails and other climbing spots, so a visit can easily combine bouldering or climbing with time on foot. For comfortable conditions, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Reading put September highs around 75°F with lows near 53°F, while May runs about 70°F by day and 47°F at night. September also brings the fewest wet days of the year, about nine. Pine Grove Path and Melrose Path both start roughly 0.1 miles away. Within about 0.6 miles are the climbing areas Hemlock Pool at Middlesex Fells and Woodland Road Boulder, and Historic Trail is about 0.3 miles off.
