The Chockstone/2™ is our most technical pant, so you can cut your load. Unlike your gear closet where there's likely three different ropes - one for trad or sport, one for the gym, and one for ice - and a piece of gear for every size crack, less is more with your apparel. Think about it: if you had a pair of pants for every activity - approach, climb, thru-hikes - now you're just taking up space for your crash pad.
