Patagonia Guide Pants?

[stubby]

Has anyone used these pants for both bc skiing and rock climbing? They advertise this on their website, but wondering if anyone has had any actual experience with that.

Thanks in advance

I have been up very moderate 4th class (hard snow needing cramps and 2 tools) with a harness and skied in the same day and the guide pants were great. I have used my Cloudveil softshells for skiing, ice, and rock in colder weather and had no issues.

I have a pair of guide pants I have had for 3 years. They dry quickly, and are faily warm. They are inadequate for big powder days, and wet ice climbing. However I use them climbing (ice & rock) spring skiing and working out side. The material is TUFF! I have old tears from my crampons that have't gotton any bigger over time. I noticed that climbing sharp granit and wide cracks will wear them quickly like anything else.
