New Sub-Area 1 is a climbing area in Utah, set within the Dugout Ranch land unit, which is managed by a non-governmental organization. It sits among a cluster of other climbing areas, with Fringe Walls, Election Wall and 3D all about 0.1 mile away. The area offers a range of routes, with 10 in total. Eight are trad and two are sport, and the grades run from 5.7 up to 5.13. Sundance is a sport route at 5.7, and The Event Horizon is a trad route at 5.13. Arch Route, Split Pinnacle and Y-Crack Simulator are all trad at 5.9. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 77°F and October highs around 70°F, while July averages about 95°F and January highs sit near 42°F. That station sits roughly 850 feet lower than the area, so temperatures here run cooler. For a hike, Donnelly Canyon Trail is about 0.9 mile away. Superbowl Campground and Monticello Lake Fishing Site are both within about 10 miles.
