April 5th - Central Rock Gym Bouldering and Top Rope Qualification Competition

This competition featured two events: bouldering and top rope. Each event was split into four categories: men's intermediate and men's advanced as well as women's intermediate and women's advanced. Judges were present to score all climbs for both events, the results of which were uploaded to the USA Climbing website. The ranking of each competitor is determined by first how much of the climb was completed, then by the number of attempts. The Stevens team was represented by two climbers in the men's intermediate category for both top rope and bouldering. At the conclusion of the competition, it was announced that both competitors representing the Stevens team, John O'Donovan and Jagger Langhorn, qualified for the national competition. The bouldering event consisted of 7 climbs per category and lasted 3 hours. The format is modified redpoint whereby each climber is allowed 15 attempts and can receive points for either a zone or a top. The tope rope event consists of 2 climbs per category in a flash format. Each competitor was given only one attempt and 5 minutes for each route. The score is determined by the highest hold which a climber was able to demonstrate control on.
