Description New Horizon is everything a sport climb should be- beautiful, natural, aesthetic, and challenging. Slap the arete and hug the crack past fairly positive, yet widely spaced holds until it is no longer possible to span between the two features. At this point commit to the arete, lieback past the last bolt, and then traverse left to the anchors.
Location This is the obvious arete on the left side of the Riverwall. Scramble up a slightly loose, scary ramp to reach the base of this climb.
Protection Five quickdraws plus one for the extremely large eye bolt at the anchor. A 50 meter rope will easily get you back down.

| Thanks for posting this route, Taylor. This climbs a lot like the upper section of Animal Instinct in the Boulder Canyon, only on the opposite side. The only differences are that it's steeper, more technical, more powerful, and more precise. Good luck. |

| Whoa.. Amazing route. Make sure to get your beta perfect and hold on tight (but not too tight) for the fourth clip. Climb this route. |

| Dang... while relentlessly dogging my way up NH, I think I managed to grope pretty much the entire first 20 feet of LH and thought 'hey... this thing might go...' but now... not so much. |
