Although Mountain Project says 5.12c, GunksApp grades this climb 5.12b and I'm ever reluctant to take the higher grade without consensus (see: ua-cam.com/video/INkaRVYC05Q/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/CTxgrkwTw-o/v-deo.html). Disco Pants skews wildly different from the other bolted 12s at Hanging Mountain in that there really isn't too much pulling. After surmounting a bouldery bulge, you dip in and out of a textured arete where having faith in your rock climbing footwork will take the bite out of this puppy. A few bolts through the crux and it's smooth sailing along the fin to the chains. Support the channel and my feelings! Please Like Sub and Share with a friend! Apologies for the nauseating video angles. Filming second-pitch climbs is hard :( Patreon my way towards a drone to make better vids?🥹www.patreon.com/arduouspaths

Looks like what i probably did. Shame that tree has grown into such a pain
