Dying Breed follows the pretty seams and cracks through the nice varnish. Falling before your first piece would not be too fun, especially with out a pad. Once through the initial sequence and you have your first piece this climb is not run out, just spicy.Start on two chalked up small plates, take a deep breath and pull bouldery moves up and left to get your first piece. Continue up the steep wall with pretty good gear, there will be a section or two that feels a little bold. Get a good rest and gear before punching through the great finish on this classic test piece.It is easy to rap and check out placements before tying in... I'm glad I did.

Impact Event

Impact Event shares the start with Decline of Man (12b) and then breaks right following the big holds left of the arete. 

  Bouldery moves off the ground with good? gear. (in a hollow sounding plate) followed by much better gear and bigger holds to the top. Pumpy! or maybe its just because its the warmup. 

  Maybe doesn't warrant a pg13 but the gear in the hollow plate (that protects the crux) is not too inspiring and would not be pretty if it failed.

If you have done the routes on the Spring Break wall and looking for more steep and difficult trad lines, this is a great spot. You can expect to get pumped pulling sporty moves while plugging in cams and wires instead of clipping bolts, It's awesome.5 routes ranging from 11+ - 12c.  All of the routes are fairly bold and serious leads requiring hard moves off the ground with no protection, so bringing a bouldering pad is not a bad idea. (there is one sport route)Little morning sun, after 9 or 10 it gets shade. The sun is close by when the routes are in the shade.Jerry Handrens guide has a nice overview pic of how to get there with good descriptions of these bold routes.
