Description
Party in your Pants ascends a pair of parallel crack systems just left of Easy Off. Stem and jam your way up the steep corners and past a series of wavy bulges, which provide the crux moves. Fairly continuous 5.8 climbing.
Gear
Bring gear to 3". All sizes from small TCUs to 2s and 3s will find placements but the majority is hand size cams. Haul up lots of it if leading at your limit.

[Hide Comment] A great sustained 5.8 trad climb. I would recommend doubling up on mid sized cams and bring one or two micro cams. Leave the small nuts, I never found a use for them. However, since I ran out of mid cams, I stacked two large stoppers. Great hand jams, a few stem rests, and the bulges do provide the crux moves.

[Hide Comment] The book says there's one bolt that you can back up with a 4" piece, but there were three equalized chains when I got to the anchor yesterday. Awesome fun by the way. A romp.
I found that the cracks took a wide variety of gear the entire way up. I was saving most of my wider gear because I thought I'd read it widens up at the top, but the crack undulates enough that you can really take a basic rack to 3" if you're conservative and creative. Plenty of nut placements, unlike Michiel I used my small nuts and they felt bomber.

[Hide Comment] Super fun!!! Great feeling of exposure for a cinco ocho! Definitely bring lots of mid sized gear if this is your limit. ENJOY

[Hide Comment] Stellar, sustained but very secure 5.8 climbing. Plenty of options for pro on the way up. 9 of 10 pieces were in the right crack, so no worries about having to extend them much. Bring your big stoppers and mid-sized gear. Each undulation provides a 5.8 crux, but the jams and stems are secure enough to pull through with ease.

[Hide Comment] I guess you could say the climbing moves are sustained at the grade, but there are also rests everywhere you want them. Left crack is generally wider, and right is narrower. Look right of you run out of big gear (or vice versa)

[Hide Comment] I thought hexes / cowbells were obsolete until I led this, but I Used 3! Now I’m a real trad guy. I left my smallest gear at the base, but there was actually places for gear of all sizes. Flaring cracks makes it interesting for cams though
