Transcript (27 pages) of interview by Matt Driscoll with Jeff Pedersen on March 1, 2010 |
| Abstract |
Pedersen is the owner of the Momentum Climbing Gym in Sandy, Utah, and was a key figure in the rise of sport climbing in Utah in the late 1980s and early 1990s. As the owner of Momentum and The Quarry, Jeff is uniquely able to discuss the role climbing gyms have played in the growing popularity of climbing during the last two decades. He shares his experience with these climbing gyms and their aim to appeal to a larger demographic while also supporting the training of dedicated climbers. He also comments on the challenges and successes of climbing gyms as an industry. Jeff discusses his relationship with Boone Speed and Bill Boyle, who along with Jeff were largely responsible for the development of challenging routes in American Fork, Santaquin, and Rock Canyons. The interview concludes with Matt Driscoll asking Jeff a series of questions about his influences and the leading figures in current Utah climbing. Interview is part of the Outdoor Recreation Oral History Project. Interviewer: Matt Driscoll |
