In 2011, several University of Wisconsin schools joined forces to create a series of indoor rock climbing competitions hosted at their campus climbing gyms, and the Wisconsin Indoor Climbing Series (WICS) was born. As the series grew, our friends in Minnesota joined the fun and competition. More and more recreational and competitive climbers traveled to each host school, fostering connections and strengthening our region’s climbing community. Today, the name Midwest Climbing Series reflects our expanded regional mission!
