All of my projects are open (shows my confidence). However I will send it before the year is up. I don't believe in trying to own a crack just for the sake of getting my name in a book (or my own guide). Nobody gives a shit anyway.

Thanks man. I'm not at all sure I want to get on it either way and I meant no offense with the question. It's just one of the more asthetic cracks that I've seen in a while and I know that I would love to get on it at some point. I do hope you send it.

Oh, no problem Loren. I didn't mean to sound harsh towards you if it came across that way. The route is pretty cool. The gear is just like Afterburner but the route is much harder (5.12c/d). The moves are insane. It's probably one of the most powerful routes I've been on in the Red. It feels more powerful to me than Welcome to Ol Kentuck. Of course WTOK is harder but the moves on Days of Rage are the kind of moves where you scream just to hang on because you're pressing with everything you've got just to keep each inch of your skin pressed against the little dihedral to stay on the route. I thought I was going to bag it but during the lead I would place a cam (wobbly weird micros) and then go to clip the rope but begin to slide out of the crack each time I let a hand go to pull rope. This happened with every piece it felt like. Then towards the top, it turns to wide fists/offwidth and you're wrestling it like a fucking alligator in a pit of burning flesh. It's fucking insane.
I couldn't think of a better name for it besides Days of Rage. Maybe a better name would be Crazy Ass Burning Tar Covering a Pit Of Raging Hell.
I'm getting so amped and shaky just thinking of it. It's so bad ass.

since it is not on geek test, i don't know if it counts towards geekyness.
