Well, let's list them out. Maybe what you think makes them good.
1. REI: Sandy on 106 or so and SLC at 3300 south - Duh, return policy, selection, garage sales, clearance sales, etc.
2. IME: 3300 south by REI- Cool staff, locally owned, tons of the best climbing/canyoneering gear.
3. Black Diamond: 3900 south and 18th or so east - Sells way more than just BD stuff and sometimes they have the cosmetic defect carabiners and other hardware.
4. Kirkhams: State Street and in the 3000's south - feels like a home made REI to me, but some people love it.
5. Sports authority: All over, doesn't carry climbing or real biking gear, but has good deals on accessories and clothes. I buy my North Face shorts there.
6. Big 5: all over - same as SA, but every once in a while you'll get a killer deal on some cool gear, like my $60 Smith and W knife that they were selling for $13.
That's a start, I have to go now, but there's the climbing shop up in ogden, all the places in Moab and Zion, Where else?
