The Quarry Indoor Climbing Center

It is definitely a climbing gym, and the only one in Provo- for those categories it excels. But the people should know that safety is not a main focus of this establishment, OSHA would have a hayday here. There was zero orientation of any sorts given- no idea what the “safety” rules are. The max capacity for the bouldering area was exceeded by enough people to the point where I was worried for my safety. There are multiple points in the gym where mats and or railings would not save you (if you sent it at one spot you could launch yourself off the wall and down the stairs to the bottom level). The emergency exit door handle is precariously located in the middle of a climb- while it’s an added element of challenge, one wrong move and the alarm will sound. There was no staff present to enforce any rules or safety resulting in some problems for me and my fellow climbers. While approaching a climb, after successfully maneuvering through the overpopulated mat area both of my friends were shocked to be physically touched (in odd areas might I add) and moved out of the way of a climber. I’m not sure if spotting is acceptable in this gym, but i think this individual was just trying to assert dominance. The spotting itself seemed excessive for a v2, considering the climber had two feet on the ground. I also watched an individual fall and collide with another individual who ended up kicking someone (yes 3 people injured) and I’m not sure what was happening. Overall, the climbs are climbable, the rocks are there, but I felt unsafe and worried for any beginner climber who came here. Beware the risks.

Love this place! It's a fantastic local climbing gym, with reasonable prices and awesome route setting. I climb outdoor for as many months as possible, but when the Utah cold and dark comes in, I go straight here. It's not the size to gawk at on a Youtube video, but they get a lot done with the space they have, and even with regular twice-a-week attendance, I'm never even close to running out of options. Bouldering, top rope, and lead are all incredible!

Love this place! I have been climbing here since it opened over 20 years ago. Still just as awesome as it was back then. Great routes, good variety of levels. Has a bouldering area, lead climbing and top rope. Highly recomend!!!

We love the Quarry! My wife and I have a membership. I like that it's consensus graded. It can get quite crowded at popular times and it's not very big. But there's usually always a spot where you can climb. The different routes/problems are also pretty crowded, especially in the bouldering area - but kudos for making the most of your space.

Best place to go for climbing and bouldering. Downstairs is a friendly welcome and the ropes are in awesome condition. They also have a bouldering place where you can climb and have fun. Even more, they have a shop downstairs that you can buy stuff for a good price. Love this place!

Solid rock climbing place, tons of runs at different skill levels! You all donated your space for the autistic community to come, very thankful and grateful for your contributions to these amazing people 😊 my son had an amazing time today, thank you❤️

It’s a great place to go and climb in the winter. Kind of pricey but when there is no where else to go it’s great. Friday is free friend day so it’s alway jam-packed. Smells pretty sweaty some days. They keep the climbs fresh and change them up every 1-2 months just long enough to tackle and beat the problem. Staff is nice and not overbearing but they are helpful and will correct you if you’re doing something dangerous. Would definitely recommend to a friend. I go 1-2x per week. I would give 5 stars if they had some way to periodically freshen up the building, someway to make it smell nicer. Edit: the building does smell a lot nicer now. Your do have to register online for a spot for COVID restrictions. But it’s nicer not being so crowded

Great place. Even when it’s really busy you’ll still find lots of routes open. Saturday mornings are really busy but still fun and the day pass lasts all day so you can leave for lunch or a rest and come back to keep climbing later in the day.

First timers over here! Took the family to do something fun and something new - and this place did not disappoint! The ambience was a bit crazy due to a rock climbing completion going on but we were still able to get our climb on without it being super duper crowded. The people here (climbers and their families) are super friendly and gave us tips on how to get started, even helped us do a climb! The kids were ecstatic and got their wiggles out, and got to be active for an afternoon...I'm afraid we might be converted!

Local gyms are my favorite. Less crowds and it's not as intimidating. They have an interesting rating system, it's based on consensus, sometimes climbs are harder or easier than it should be. But the gym has good routes, bouldering, top-rope, and lead. The only problem I run into, are the Summer camps and classes, they're at least twice a day so you have to plan around it.

Vibes are unbeatable, evening yoga is awesome, avoid all the First Date crowds by skipping Friday nights and you're golden. Love this place sm I don't even mind that it smells like the inside of a foot (this simply cannot be helped)

Not bad, as the only climbing gym in the Provo/Orem area. The facilities are nice. It is a bit pricey, compared with other (and even nicer) gyms we've been to, but you can get some great climbs in. You do have to be very careful about picking a good time to go, this place can get overcrowded very quickly, especially when schools is out for BYU/UVU.

the quarry has been kind of a let down. with the gym being small, its made even smaller when the "quarry kids" occupy large portions of the gym during peak hours. the climbing sets seem wonky and disjointed. it's a nice enough gym with friendly staff but it's getting hard to pretend it's worth the cost.

Excellent management and friendly front desk staff will be sure that you have a great time for one of the best bargains int he Salt Lake, Utah Valley area. The gym invests a lot of money into new equipment, setting and holds which means that the gym stays fresh and the holds don't get too polished. Thanks to the GM, Willis Knapp, for making sure that the gym is in tip-top shape. Special rates are available for groups and parties. Getting a membership is definitely the way to go even if you only plan on going a few times a week.

A lot off different skilled climbing options. Everything is labeled according to difficulty level, which is super convenient. Pretty expensive.

Fun place with an awesome staff. Lots of different looks that they are constantly switching around for you.

Brought my family here for the first time. They gave us instruction and equipment, both were excellent- and we spent the next two hours having a blast. Facility was clean, areas for climbing and bouldering. Doesn't look like much from the outside but inside it's amazing- highly recommend for family bonding time- no electronics, just laughter and relying on one another for belay and encouragement! Will be back again soon!

This is a pretty sweet rock climbing gym, especially if you go with people who know what they're doing. I've been here many times, though I don't climb enough for it to be worth the $25 a month for a membership. On a Friday night, you're going to find a lot of people here on dates, which sucks. The guys usually take girls who haven't gone, because if it's your first time, it's either free or deeply discounted to climb (I can't remember which). If you can imagine a typical BYU date, this would be a prime example. Ishck. The climbs are constantly changing, which is pretty sweet. While the facility is not huge, they utilize the space really well. Nights are a good time to go during the week just because it doesn't seem to be too crowded. There's a wall that you have to be "licensed" to go on, just because there aren't any ropes at the top and you have to clip as you go. I haven't even attempted to do that. Overall, I love this place. There's a shop just off to the side of the gym, and they sometimes have some good sales on their shoes. I got a really nice pair of Mad Rocks for about $80...not too bad. They have all of the gear that you need, though you might want to price that stuff out elsewhere as well. The Quarry gives you a great workout and is a lot of fun...never disappointing.

The Quarry is pretty awesome. There are a lot of routes for all different levels, with top roping (rope is already set up), lead climbing (you bring your own rope), a few cracks, and a large bouldering area. The bouldering area is nice because that means you can still go to the gym even if you don't have anybody to belay you. They change out the routes pretty frequently. If you know someone that has a membership, you come for free with them on Fridays and cheaper on other days, though that doesn't include gear rentals, which is about $5ish for shoes and a harness. You can borrow a belay device and carabiner for free. They also have discounts for other things like ladies night, family night, etc. The prices for a pass have gone up, it's about $45/mon for single non-students, but the good thing is that now it's month-to-month whereas previously you had to sign a 12 month contract that was non-transferable. You may want to buy a pass at the beginning/end of summer or around Christmas as usually there are deals. In any case a regular day pass is $13 for adults so if you go 4 or 5 times a month then it's worth it, especially if you bring friends sometimes and/or take advantage of the free yoga. They do have some classes like the explore one which is a really good deal if you're considering getting into climbing. That's not as necessary if you have friends that are really into climbing, because they can just teach you as you go. Everyone that works there has always been really friendly. It's a good place to meet other outdoorsy, chill people, who are usually down to give you some pointers here and there, and maybe even climb with you there or outside. It's a bit of a different crowd on Friday and Saturday evenings though, and Fridays can get really crazy for that free friend deal so I know I try to avoid those times if I can. Also I've felt a little weird at times if there are like 30 people in the bouldering area and I'm the only girl but usually it's fine. All in all, whether your'e looking for a fun date or a new hobby/obsession The Quarry is a great place to go.

Took the kids here for Fun on sat. We had a great time. Staff was nice and friendly and I fell like pricing was reasonable. Keep It up!

I went to the Quarry today with my wife and niece who lives in town- we are in Provo visiting her. I climb regularly at gyms in so cal. Overall I would say this facility is nice and the variations within the route and boulder problem setting is really good too. I like the fact that members get to vote on the ratings of newly set climbs, it adds a nice social element when trying new climbs and discussing reasoning behind ratings with others in the gym . We went during the middle of the day so crowds were not a problem. My only complaint is the no loose chalk rule, they expect you to use chalk balls only. I'm just going to say it, chalk balls suck! I was missing my Friction Labs Unicorn dust for sure. I guess they figure that loose chalk makes the gym more messy. To be honest our chalk ball made a bit of a mess anyway. All around we had a good time though!

I wish they would open up locations nationally. They are seriously awesome. I've gone to them for years for 13 years. It doesn't ever change and I say that in a good way. Tons of routes to improve your outdoor game. A good way to have some fun when you need to let off steam.

Love this place, I come every week! Staff is friendly, routes change regularly and plenty of variety to keep things interesting and challenging for me.

It's a cool gym and not too far from where I live. It's usually packed with college students when I'm there which means waiting or taking whatever routes are left over. I don't like how crowded the TR section always is but overall the gym is cool and people are nice.

I have been here a few times to get in some climbing exercise. The gym itself is small with not many options for climbing and things like that. However, you can get some good exercise in for the essentials to prep you for your next outdoor trip. The trip is pretty friendly and very helpful. I have always received great service while I have been there. I always recommend it to others.

This is one of the best gyms we have been to. Staff is really friendly and helpful. Highly recommending spending and after noon or the day here. And it's great for kids as well.

I love rock climbing thus I love the Quarry it's a great indoor Rock Climbing spot. Highly recommend it.

I have taken my kids here several times. They love being able to climb until they are worn out! All the training you need is provided. The equipment is readily available to rent. Good fun!

Interesting routes, friendly staff. The membership contract is ridiculous and will leave you with a headache if you ever need to change/cancel it. Also packed with college students, especially on weekends, not worth the price in my opinion. I do not recommend getting a membership here

Eh, its ok. Not a bad place to work a burn as a solid gym facility but requires some patience or willingness to elbow for space as it is consistently busy on almost all afternoons/evenings/nights. Doesn't really strike me as a place for serious climbers looking for a workout - more of a cliquish gym rats/novice scene. A sort of date night activity. The workers are nice enough people but I wouldn't be looking for real climbing info as the majority are college girls/kids that I'm guessing aren't getting hired due to their climbing prowess. Its a gym that follows with the popularization of dangerous sports and unfortunately indoor climbing has become a "sport" of itself as I hear with increasing frequency of people that have never climbed outside. Thus, they have never climbed, as far as I'm concerned. Kind of a snobby purist view, I know. Indoor climbing takes away the real essence of climbing and cheapens it. Pretty expensive too. Adding one more bureaucratic intrusion into simplicity and freedom.
