'''The Bwog''' is the blog of ''[[The Blue and White]]'' magazine, centered on campus news and gossip. It was launched in February [[2006]]. Some consider it to be snotty and elitist. Others consider it witty and entertaining. Most people read it regardless.

Bwog launched into fame in October [[2006]] with its nearly real-time coverage of the [[Minuteman stage-rush]] incident.

Its current editors in chief are [[Lydia DePillis]] and [[Katie Reedy]]. Lydia succeeded Bwog founder [[Taylor Walsh]] after the latter became ''Blue and White'' editor.

Columbia University Rock Climbing Club

2007-06-17T05:34:52Z

The '''Columbia University Rock Climbing Club''' is a group of undergraduate students, graduate students, alumni, faculty and staff at Columbia University who are interested in climbing and the promoting and teaching climbing at the university. The club welcomes and supports climbers of all levels, from first-time climbers to regional competition winners. The club currently runs both weekly trips to a local gym and several trips a year to local and regional outdoor climbing areas.

Those seeking more information can direct their questions to [mailto:climbing@columbia.edu climbing@columbia.edu].

== Club History ==

The '''Columbia University Rock Climbing Club''' was formed in the spring semester of [[2003]] by friends, Stephen Wang, [[SEAS]] '06, and Mark Backman, [[SEAS]] '05. The club originally grew out of an email list maintained by the [[Hiking Club]], and later, communities on social networking sites like CampusNetwork and [[Facebook]]. The club attracted campus-wide interest.

Following a series of meetings with Director of Intramural and Club Sports, Brian Jines and Associate Athletics Director, Ken Torrey, Mark and Stephen were given the green light to proceed with the club. During the Spring 2006 semester, the club gained recognition from the Club Sports Governing Board. The club was placed on a one semester evaluation during which no funding was provided and was subsequently awarded full status and funding in the Fall 2007 semester.

Following the graduations of Stephen and Mark, Christa Brelsford (SEAS '07), Emily Laskin (BC '07), and Ethan Coon (Ph.D SEAS '08) took over all aspects of the Rock Climbing Club, most importantly, maintaining the club's status as "totally sweet".

Unfortunately, Emily will be leaving the club after a year's successful reign, leaving Christa, Ethan, and a group of fresh, new faces with the keys to the club. Since its inception, the club has grown to over 100 members strong, and is in the process of expanding its offerings to more events for more climbers.

The club is also proud to announce its newly expanded executive board for the 2007-2008 school year:

* President: Christa Brelsford (GSAS '08)
* Vice President: Ethan Coon (GSAS '08)
* Treasurer: [[Ashley Nin]] (CC '09)
* Secretary: Steven Thomas (CC '09)
* Event Co-coordinator (Gym Trips): Stephanie Quan (CC '08)
* Event Co-coordinator (Outdoor Trips): Nic Borensztein (SEAS '10)
* Publicity: Julie Taylor (CC '10)

== General information ==

Historically, the rock climbing club has met every Saturday at noon in front of 212 Lerner Hall. Saturday is generally when new members and interested students travel with club officers to the climbing gym. All skill levels are welcome to participate. The club offers balay instruction as well as assistance with climbing technique.

For those seeking freedom from the confines of a climbing gym, there are many outdoor options available to you. New York City has a tremendous amount of bouldering available (legal!) in Central Park, the majority being midtown and towards the north entrance. For the more adventurous, the Shawangunk Ridge ("The Gunks") is within a reasonable driving distance and features some of the best climbing in the United States.

=== Competitions ===

Under the leadership of Christa, Emily, and Ethan, the Rock Climbing Club has participated in a number of area competitions, always providing a strong showing. The club now has an impressive number of top finishes at American Bouldering Series (ABS) competitions, with more than a few Champion titles in both the Men's and Women's categories.

=== Facilities ===

The Rock Climbing Club has informally made its home at the City Climbers' Club (59th St./11th Ave) since its inception. Housed in a New York Park and Recreation Center, the gym offers a modest number of top-rope routes as well as a bouldering cave. CCC offers one of the most competitive yearly memberships available in New York City as well as having a very experienced staff and membership. Day passes are available, the price of which includes equipment rental.

Members seeking new scenery have many other rock climbing choices available to them within New York City, as well as within the tri-state area. Many active members of the Rock Climbing club have transitioned to the Manhattan Plaza Health Club, which offers a larger array of bouldering and roped climbs in a larger space.

'''Local Rock Climbing Gym Guide''' [as prepared by Ethan Coon, Christa Brelsford, and a little bit by Stephen Wang]

>>'''City Climber's Club''' -- ($250 / year, $15 / month, $100 / year with special Columbia Club Climbing deal)

http://www.cityclimbersclub.com/

59th between 10th and 11th in Manhattan

Small gym, but good, friendly people, and a great place to meet climbing partners. Run by climbers, for climbers. A non-profit, so you won't find any cheaper. Great for beginners.

>>'''Manhattan Plaza Health Club''' -- ($150 / 3 months for students, $18/day)

http://www.mphc.com/

43rd between 9th and 10th, Manhattan

Slightly larger gym, tons of good bouldering. Not so sure of the quality of their roped stuff, but the bouldering is great. Better for more advanced climbers.

>>'''Extra Vertical''' -- (now defunct)

http://www.extravertical.com/centers_nyc.html

Harmony Atrium
61 West 62nd Street, Manhattan

Large gym with an outdoor faux rock face for egotistical climbers to ascend and impress New Yorkers on the street. Numerous roped routes with a number of traverses; confusing, not well maintained routes. Extra Vertical has closed for business while Lincoln Center is renovating the atrium. There are no plans for a rock climbing facility.

>>'''Chelsea Piers''' ($50 per day, $1600 per year, but includes access to an impressive complex of other sporting stuff)

http://www.chelseapiers.com/sc/climbing.htm

23rd and the Hudson River, Manhattan

Huge frickin overhanging wall, some decent bouldering, this is a good place to get really strong. Quoting their website, it's home to "the world's most challenging indoor climbing wall." I guess it could be ridiculously hard in that "over-hanging til you can't hold on any more" kinda way. That said, the people there seem to me to be more the "getting strong" types than the "climbing" types. Not the type of place to go without a climbing partner... That said, this is where the movie stars train for their next flick, so you too can be mad cool (for just a small fee...)

>>'''The Rock Club''' ( $200 / 4 months for students, $15 / day)

http://www.climbrockclub.com/

New Rochelle ( via Car or Metro North, see website for more)

Big place, tons of routes and bouldering. A bit off the beaten path if you don't have a car, though... the Metro North ticket runs at $3.75 one way if you buy it in the station.

>>'''The Gravity Vault''' ($189/3 months for students, $14 / day)

http://www.gravityvault.com/

North of Paramus on Rt 17

Another big place with tons of great bouldering and routes. One of those places to go when you get rained out of the Gunks...

>>'''NJ Rock Gym''' (???)

http://www.njrockgym.com/

Never been here, but I hear it's cool.

>>'''The Cliffs at Valhalla''' (240/3 mo, 85/1 mo, 16/day) - you might be able to get a student discount if you ask nicely.

http://www.thecliffsclimbing.com

North of White Plains. A short cab ride from the Hawthorne Metro North Station, but they'll refund your cab fare if you come in a group of 3 or more. $7 otherwise.

A comparable amount of bouldering to the Rock Club, but less top-roping, and no leading. The boulder problems were a ton of fun.

The Blue and White

2007-06-17T05:33:55Z

Ashleynin: /* Current and former members */

{{wp-also}}

'''''The Blue and White''''' is an undergraduate magazine. The magazine is an outlet for intellectual and political discussion, literary publication, and general parody. It has recently begun to foray into in-depth pieces on campus life and politics.

Among its popular features are designations of [[Campus Character]]s.

The current editor in chief is [[Taylor Walsh]], who succeeds [[Avi Zvi Zenilman]].

== History ==
''The Blue and White'' was founded in [[1890]]. It disbanded for unknown reasons in [[1893]]. In [[1998]], a handful of undergraduates revived the journal based on the original format. The staff has since grown to several dozen writers and contributors. In [[2005]], the magazine switched to monthly editions, affirming its presence on the campus. Recently, the magazine has focused more on pieces of "hard" journalism, in contradistinction to its former, less serious, and more literary character.

''The Blue and White'' staff meets in the crypt of [[St Paul's Chapel]]. Meetings are inaugurated with a bizarre ritual known as "pokey", in which two staffers grab each others' hands and attempt to poke one another with their index fingers.

== The Bwog ==
In [[2006]], ''The Blue and White'' established [[The Bwog]], a blog counterpart to the magazine. The Bwog publishes gossip and other Columbia news around the clock.
