Sorry about the delay in getting to this. I'll try and address these points in the next few hours. Jamesx12345 15:40, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
Comments

Lead is a little on the light side.  Could be expanded a little to summarise a bit more of the history and functionality of the place.
Have expanded somewhat, more to come.
"After facing financial problems months after opening..." after .. after... repetitive.
Reworded.
"GB£" not sure this is strictly required, could just link £ if you're really concerned that a reader won't know what a British pound is.
I tend to use {{GBP}} as it adds a non-breaking space, but I'm happy to change it if you think it looks cluttered.
" program of works" programme (unless we're American or writing computer applications).
Good spot.
Any history on the very first version of the quarry, i.e. when the first one was dug out?
I couldn't find anything more than the sentence beginning "Originally used for supplying stone..." It wasn't an especially noteworthy quarry, but I'll do a bit more research.
I'd love to find the actual history of the quarry, but there seem to be a huge number of quarries in the area and I don't want to get the wrong one. Jamesx12345 16:37, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
"work had been done." yuck to "done", perhaps "carried out".
Reworded again.
"SportScotland" looks like it's spelled "Sportscotland".
Another good find.
"cost to be GB£7 million, with GB£1.5 million coming" -> "with funding of £1.5 million to come from..."
Much nicer.
"During... during" repetitive.
Fixed.
"When it opened in September 2003, it was the largest..." perhaps "When it opened in September 2003, the arena was the largest..."
Done
You linked "indoor climbing" in the lead, but just "climbing" here, be consistent.
Removed link to climbing.
How did the estimate go from 7 million to 22 million?  Important...
The BBC article just gives "problems" - there doesn't appear to be a simple reason, but losing part of the roof can't have helped. Acknowledging it makes it somewhat clearer though.
Would link "bouldering".
Linked in first instance.
"The articulated climbing wall." no need for the full stop on the caption, it's not a complete sentence.
Removed full stops from all captions.
But don't overlink bouldering!
Fixed
No need to link common terms such as "gym".
Fixed
Never overkeen on galleries, would suggest that contextual images are used in contextual places throughout the article instead.
Removed
BBC News or BBC News?  Be consistent with italics.
There was an accidental {{cite web}} which renders differently (not many people seem to know this!)
A few issues so I'll put it on hold for a week.  The Rambling Man (talk) 10:04, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

"IFSC World Youth Championship, 2010" IFSC is mentioned in the caption but nowhere else.
Added link to world championships.
I know it's picky, but you still haven't mentioned IFSC in the prose.  Just in the caption, albeit linked.  The Rambling Man (talk) 19:11, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
It was actually a mistake with the name. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Jamesx12345 19:30, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
Suggest you avoid that left-aligned image....
I thought a bit of variety would be good, but it looks better with them all to the right. I've added another {{Clear}} to keep the layout tidy. Jamesx12345 16:17, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
The Rambling Man (talk) 08:43, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
Promoted, well done. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:42, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. Jamesx12345 21:45, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
