Narrative:

While taxiing to runway 16L for takeoff, the wind changed to favor runway 34R. We turned around and began taxiing to that runway, while ground control started issuing the first of 3 different clrncs to us. Our final clearance was as follows: slc 5 departure, intercept the 94 degree radial slc VOR outbound, intercept the 303 degree radial mtu VOR, etc. Maintain 9000 ft. When cleared for takeoff, we climbed on a 340 degree heading and turned right at the VOR and intercepted the 094 degree radial outbound. A few mins later, slc departure control questioned our clearance. We read it back to her word for word. We were VMC the whole time.
