In this paper we examine isotropic Gaussian random fields defined on $\mathbb R^N$ satisfying certain conditions. Specifically, we investigate the type of a critical point situated within a small vicinity of another critical point, with both points surpassing a given threshold. It is shown that the Hessian of the random field at such a critical point is equally likely to have a positive or negative determinant. Furthermore, as the threshold tends to infinity, almost all the critical points above the threshold are local maxima and the saddle points with index $N-1$. Consequently, we conclude that the closely paired critical points above a high threshold must comprise one local maximum and one saddle point with index $N-1$.
