====Early Bridge Four ====
Rock joined the bridge crews in early 1173 and spent several months there before [[Kaladin]] was appointed his new bridgeleader.{{book ref|sa1|11}}{{book ref|sa1|14}} The next morning when Kaladin claimed that Bridge Four would never lose another man, Rock laughed at Kaladin and refused to practice carrying the bridge.{{book ref|sa1|14}} Rock bet the other bridgemen a few chips that Kaladin was carrying a lightweight board to practice and was surprised when he was proven wrong. Later that day on a bridge run, Kaladin took Rock's place at the deathpoint of the bridge during the final approach. Rock was surprised by Kaladin's decision, but accepted. After the bridge was placed, Rock took shelter behind a rock formation. When Kaladin struggled to save an injured [[Dabbid]], Rock followed and carried the man back to shelter himself. He and Teft went out again to save a badly wounded [[Leyten]] as well. After Kaladin had treated them, Rock warned Kaladin that injured bridgemen who could not walk must be left behind and that Gaz would not allow them to save Leyten and Dabbid.{{book ref|sa1|17}}
Later he offered some of his food to feed the wounded and assisted Kaladin and Teft with collecting [[knobweed|knobweed sap]], utilising his ability to see [[Syl]] to quickly find more stems to gather. Syl tricked Rock by leading him to a pile of chull dung during this exercise, which he didn't understand due to his reverence of spren. {{book ref|sa1|23}} They sold some of the knobweed sap they gathered, in return for bandages and a skymark per bottle. That same day Bridge four was assigned to [[War of Reckoning#Chasm Duty| chasm duty]], where Rock helped to build rapport with the other members of the bridge crew and successfully brought Dunny into the conversation, having discovered he can sing. With the help of Syl, Rock and Dunny discovered more bodies in the caverns, being those of the Parshendi. They discovered that their armour is part of their bodies. That evening, Rock and Kaladin bought a cauldron and food with the money they gained, and Rock cooked a stew of which every member of the bridge crew partook. After this, most of the bridgemen started training with Kaladin.{{book ref|sa1|27}}
====Side Carry Maneuver====
While Kaladin was recovering from being strung up in a [[highstorm]], Rock was made the bridgeleader of Bridge Four. However, the crew just called Rock squadleader and called Kaladin their captain. To thank him for his cooking, Bridge Four bought him a razor, which made Rock actually grow teary-eyed. He was very grateful for it,{{book ref|sa1|40}} and he started shaving the beards of all the members of Bridge Four.{{book ref|sa1|43}}▼
Rock and Teft helped influence the last members of the bridge crew to fall under Kaladin's leadership. They joined in doing exercises from Kaladin's time in the military, before practicing carrying the bridges as strength training. Kaladin suggested carrying the bridge on it's side as a way to train more muscles and Rock participated in attempting the maneuver. {{book ref|sa1|30}} Bridge Four gained a new member with [[Lopen]], a one-armed Herdazian. Alongside Dabbid, he carried a stretcher with several water canteens for the bridge crew to use on a run. With the three of them, the start of the non-combative section of the crew was started. Immediately after Loped had joined, Bridge Four was sent on the next plateau assault, arriving after the Parshendi were fully set up. Kaladin ordered the crew to attempt the side carry maneuver, which resulted in no loss of life to Bridge Four, causing Rock to celebrate. However, the maneuver unerminded the other bridges assaulting the plateau and caused the retreat of Sadeas' army. Rock steps up to defend Kaladin from the lighteyes that came to arrest up, but was ordered to step down and allow it to proceed. Rock watches as Kaladin is beaten.{{book ref|sa1|32}}
Syl brought Rock, Teft and Moash to the outside of the barracks to see Kaladin once he had regained consciousness. He witnessed Kaladin telling them that he would survive, and to check on his body after the highstorm has passed. {{book ref|sa1|34}} Rock was the first to leave the barracks to see Kaladin, initially dismayed to find him apparently dead before expressing his delight that he had survived. Rock called for other members of the crew to assist in cutting Kaladin down and bringing him inside. {{book ref|sa1|35}}

<!--====This history section is very incomplete, requires all of the training of bridge four in the chasms, the battle at the tower, becoming a free man under Dalinar, training and enjoying free life, the battle of narak. Likewise, future sections require information on his time at urithiru, being a victim of the unmade, and the battle of Thaylen city. ====-->
