As the only Bouldering World Cup held on U.S. soil in Vail, Colorado, came to an end Saturday, Belgium's Chloe Graftiaux represented the top spot on the women's podium. The competition was fierce, with all climbers completing the same number of problems and bonus holds, but Graftiaux's fewest attempts in the field decided her win. Anna Stohr from Austria came in a close second, having been in the #1 seat coming into finals.

Americans Alex Johnson and Alex Puccio didn't repeat their 2008 and 2009 wins (respectively), but finished in the top five.

Final Results:

1. Chloe Graftiaux (Belgium)
2. Anna Stohr (Austria)
3. Juliane Wurm (German)
4. Alex Puccio (USA)
5. Alex Johnson (USA)
6. Maud Ansade (France)
