If Spiderman were in Vail (and, you know, actually existed) even he would bow to the climbing prowess of the Teva Bouldering competitors. Sinewy bouldering masters attempted to solve tricky climbing problems, with no tools other than their bodies, in a limited timeframe. 

In addition to the IFSC Bouldering World Cup, Teva Mountain Games also featured a Citizen Bouldering Competition and Youth Bouldering Competition, both of which were open to the public.

Plum Vail's Brooke Segerberg was on hand for the World Cup and snapped some fantastic shots of these amazing athletes at work.
