Being Fall now I wear jeans rolled up to just below the knee.

I usually go for pants, but that's just because it's easier. I work at a climbing wall, so I usually just wear jeans and roll them up since I usually climb before work anyway.

I've been hoping to come across some yoga pants. I'm terrified that one day my jeans are simply going to split down the middle while I'm climbing. Unsure

Yeah, know what you mean... like the face of the first young-gun to spray crap beta. Knee pads are good for that.

Outside: Pants... just so I don't sunburn, and for preventing abrasions. Usually loose khaki type pants, cargo pockets are a plus for long routes were you need to keep a topo with you

Gym Spring/Fall/Winter = Pants (unless it's unusually warm)... usually the same as my outside pants.

Gym Summer = Long but not too long nylon hiking shorts or khaki shorts

My favorite favorite pair of climbing pants I got at the salvation army. Loose fitting khaki type pants with cargo pockets. They even looked like 'specialty climbing' pants. The tag was $1.50, but it was a red tag... and red tags were half off. I used them for about a year.

I wear compression shorts when I climb all the time, never had a problem with them. I actually prefer having them on because you have less... Loose ends haha
