Owned by Bill Leo, Ouray Mountain Sports is a fixture of the climbing and outdoor community in the San Juans. They were instrumental in the early feedback and testing of the Jsnare. When he's not in the shop, you can find Bill grooming the trail at Ironton. If Ouray Mountain Sports doesn't have it, you probably don't need it.
