Fifty men from around the nation took part in the qualifying rounds, working out problems varying in style from blind dynos at bad sloper-crimps to super-technical stand-up reaches to problems that only the strongest pinchers could grip. Qualifiers weeded out the strong from the not-as-strong; but nobody knew who made the cut until the list hit the wall. “Qualifiers could’ve gone to anyone in the top five to ten — that's how strong the field was,” says Danielson.
