OUSA Executive Committee phone call tonight. We talked a bit about some routine procedural business like elections and finances, and then had a cursory conversation about strategic planning - what OUSA can do, what OUSA should do, etc. Areas I'm thinking about are getting a clear picture on the state of the federation (finances, club status, where our events are, etc) to shape our planning and improving our communication with the community.

Weeeeee

Climbing at Basecamp Climbing with my lab. My PI and I were the only ones out of our party of 10 who were belay certified, so I spent much of the time belaying. Also, unfortunately, they were rearranging the bouldering wall for a competition tonight, so that was closed. I think everyone got to do at least five or six routes. Benjamin belayed me on a long overhang 5.10a and a slab 5.9, and I twice autobelayed a crimpy 5.10c, and three 5.7s. It was a good day.

Stopped by Basecamp on the way home, since I had used a day pay. Did four autobelay pitches, then checked out the new bouldering wall. I sent every yellow and orange pitch and a couple greens before closing time.
