Richfield is a climbing area in Utah's Fishlake National Forest, within the Fillmore Ranger District. It sits among a cluster of hiking routes and campgrounds, making it a natural base for a day of climbing and a longer trip into the surrounding forest. The area has five routes, with sport and mixed styles making up most of them. The grades run from 5.6 to 5.10c on the YDS scale, and one boulder route is also listed. The hardest of the named routes is Fluvial Systems at 5.10c, while Bubble Buddy is a sport climb at 5.6. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable. Typical averages from the nearby Koosharem weather station show May highs around 69°F and September highs around 75°F, with July peaking near 85°F. That station sits about 1,160 feet lower than the climbing area, so temperatures at Richfield run cooler. Nearby, Joseph Peak is about 3 miles away, and Pine Hollow - Horseflat is about 4 miles off. For an overnight stay, Castle Rock - Rec Site and Adelaide Campground are both within about 8 miles.
