The 4 year gap between my first aerial rescue and my second one

First time in Spokane I froze up for a full 90 seconds staring at the ground, but this past July I dropped into a double crotch rigging scenario without even thinking about it, so is that just reps and muscle memory or does something click in your head after a certain number of climbs?

Hell yeah, that's normal. For me, the big shift was when I stopped thinking about the "what if" and started just trusting my gear and my hands. The first few times I'd overthink every step, but after enough reps my body just knew where to put the rope and how to move. That double crotch stuff is all about flow, once you've done it a bunch your brain stops fighting you and just lets you work.
