Midwest Mayhem @ FA Humboldt Park

11:00 AM -8:00 PM
$1,000 Cash Purse
Midwest Mayhem is a bouldering competition series based in the Midwest set by women, trans, and nonbinary routesetters for women, trans, and nonbinary climbers. It was the first of its kind in Chicago, and we’re excited to bring it back again in 2026!
This competition seeks to create an affirming environment for underrepresented folks in the climbing community, and paves a path for women, trans, and nonbinary climbers to climb proudly in any space in the future.
Check out @MidwestMayhemComp on Instagram for more information.
This year Midwest Mayhem will be hosted at First Ascent Humboldt Park.
