ClimbNYC is reborn!
Submitted by tom on Mon, 04/21/2008 - 01:57.
After a year or so out of action, ClimbNYC.com is back. The old forum got overwhelmed with spam, so we've started from scratch with a new Drupal-based site.
The main person doing this at the moment is Thomas Turnbull - a climber and web developer. But we need help! We're going to have a logo competition soon, so if you're a designer get thinking about that. If you happen to be a web developer, especially if you've had experience with Drupal, please get in touch! And most importantly we need people to get involved and contribute!
Joining is easy - just choose a username, put in your email address and choose a password. Then you can search for a ride to the cliffs or offer a ride if you've got space. We're redoing our Climbing Gym list, so you can add to that too. Everyone can blog here, and soon we'll be setting things up so that you can add photos and videos too.
Other planned features include a climbing partner search, newsletter and regular competitions. If you're interested in providing prizes for the competitions, please get in touch!

Woo-hoo! This is great.
Woo-hoo! This is great. Thanks for making the effort to set this up. I know that creating a new bulletin board from scratch can be a pain.
I definitely think a partner finding feature would be very useful. On that note, I'm looking for a partner for regular trips for top-roping at Peterskill, and looking to start leading easier routes this summer, after I take a few more anchor-building and ropework classes. I currently climb up to 5.10-ish on plastic, probably 5.8-5.9 on real rock after a winter spent skiing and not climbing. Weeknights I try to train at CCC whenever possible.
Thanks!
