Gear Offers in SLC

Hello community,

I want to ask you directly from Germany about gear stores in Salt Lake City.
In 2011 I ordered some gear at gearexpress.com for our first roadtrip through California and surrounding states.
Next year, we will come to Salt Lake City for another roadtrip in direction NW.

So, the question is:
Is at this address a normal walk-in-store were I can by there offers which are online?

Gear Express, Inc.
2702 S 3600 W Suite E
Salt Lake City, UT 84119

I think, the price to performance ratio is ok, so I'am not sure if I can visit them in SLC.

If not, is there another store which is preferred by local climbers?
At best, it offers a good guidebook for City Of Rocks, which is our first destination in may.

Thanks for your help and please excuse my faulty words.

Greetings from Germany
Robert

The Black Diamond retail store is located at:
2092 E 3900 S, Holladay, UT 84124

You can also go to International Mountain Equipment (IME) at:
3265 3300 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84109

REI is right next door to IME. Between those 3 you should be able to find anything you need.

Thanks for the reply!
And thanks for the recommendations. But is it theoretically possible to go directly to gearexpress at SLC to buy some stuff?

Be sure to check the used gear section in IME for great deals...also try The Gear Room in the Cottonwoods area, see thegearroomslc.com/ for more info and also 2nd Tracks Sports in the Millcreek area, see 2ndtracks.com/?target=main for more info and the Patagonia Outlet in the Sugarhouse area, patagonia.com/us/store/pata… for clothing

Thanks to all of you for the nice and fast answers!

Backcountry.com is located here in SLC. While mainly a huge online retailer offering most everything outdoorsy, they do have a showroom here in town where you can go in and they will pull stuff from the warehouse for you to look at and try on for size. It helps to have shopped the catalog beforehand so you have narrowed down what you want to try. Details are on the Backcountry website. Have a good trip to City of Rocks and the Northwest.

If you drive through Reno, you might want to check out Sierra Trading Post. I've bought lots of clothing from their website (often very heavily discounted) but they have an honest retail shop in Reno, I hear.
