Upper Field is a bouldering area in western Massachusetts, about 2.8 miles from the town of North Heath. It sits among a cluster of climbing areas, with Big 45 and Charlemont both about 0.4 miles away. The area has 12 bouldering routes, all rated on the V scale from V0 to V10. The easiest is Nick's Slab at V0, and the hardest is The Wild Hunt Sit at V10. Most of the routes were first ascended by Kai Webler in 2016, with The Wild Hunt Sit by Liam Andrews Bancroft. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical July and August highs reach about 75°F with lows in the mid-50s, based on averages from a nearby weather station at Rowe. Winters are cold, with January highs around 29°F. Other climbing is close by at Big 45 and Charlemont. For time off the rock, the Deerfield River offers fishing about 9 miles away, and Harriman Reservoir is a lake fishing spot across the line in Vermont.
