Utah climbing gear brands

Five climbing gear brands are listed from Utah.

Most of the climbing companies on this list sit within a half hour's drive of the granite in Little Cottonwood Canyon. They make cams and the plastic holds bolted to gym walls, and a couple of European hardware makers run their American business from the same valley, presumably for the same reason.
