Gave the club the copy rights to John's Carderock guide so they could use his material for the guide Selma Hanel complied. John also edited the the galleries for her.

Revitalized the club in 2005 with a vision, when membership and participation was at a critical low. Ozana would hear no part of dissolving the club and soon took charge. His slogan, " LEAD, FOLLOW OR GET OUT OF THE WAY". Ozana applied for a gear grant from REI in which the Mountaineering Section was awarded $3000. An Assortment of climbing gear was purchased for use at club functions like Carderock Wednesdays, Seneca and GFNP. The GearMeister and Gear room were created to keep track of, dispense and maintain the club's implements of diversion. The gear collection has grown from ropes , harnesses and belay devices to ice tools, mountaineering boots and a circus tent. Ozana approved the creation of a club database in which to bring the club into the 20th century, which led to everything we do and see online involving the website and membership database. Ozana created ROCKBUSTER, an addition to the database which allowed the membership to check out videos. RopeBAY is a venue in which members can buy and sell their used climbing gear. In addition, Ozana designed and purchased the club t-shirts, club stickers. Ozana remains an active climbing member.
