Ascents of Roarke's Rift as Tick

First time seconding on trad gear.slid down half the rock trying to get to the start. First pitch was nice, second pitch I followed Yim’s sketchy runout and ended up laying flat for a minute before finding feet again. Great fun!

It started sprinkling as I was racking up, but being the badass I am, I decide to do it anyway! Pro-tip: I’m not a badass, and granite friction slab is not fun when wet! The sprinkle turned into a downpour, and I bailed from the top of pitch 1. We came back the next day for the tick 😂

Followed Blake's solid lead, after much shenanigans involving 3 of us on the slab cooperating to launch a small cam to him at one point! This felt like a completely different climb with comfy, soft shoes as opposed to the one new miura and one brand new agro bouldering shoe I had last time around.

Great morning on the Girra Granite. Managed to fumble my feet & punt on pitch one, in the process discovering my suspect 00 C3 placement was actually bomber... Then lead pitch two clean.

Party of 4! As good as I remembered

Tested my long neglected slab skills. Loved it.

interesting decent....

Take sliding nuts x heaps!

this was very enjoyable
