MCS Bouldering Competition

The Midwest Climbing Series is an annual circuit of climbing competitions held on University of Wisconsin and Minnesota campuses. The mission of MCS is to promote and support the growth of the collegiate Midwest climbing community by fostering connections and building relationships through collaborative efforts and the spirit of competition.

This competition will be held at Adventure Rock’s Walker’s Point location (613 S 2nd St, Milwaukee, WI 53204). Adventure Rock stands as an industry leader in commercial climbing gyms in the Midwest and a staple of the Milwaukee climbing community with their three locations.
