Onsight Rock Gym

This is an AMAZING gym!! Drove all the way down to Tennessee with a group of friends from Vermont for a bouldering trip, but ended up getting rained out. So we stopped by on our last day to get some climbing in and had an amazing time. Solid setting, beautiful gym (universal padding in the bouldering area woohoo!), affordable day pass (w/ the early bird special!) and great video safety intro (never in all of the gyms I've been to has someone explained how to fall safely, which is so crucial in preventing common injuries from bouldering). To top it all off, I ended up accidentally leaving a nice layer and watch behind and the staff was kind enough to mail it back to me. Love this place, will be stopping by the next time I'm in the area for sure!

This place is super cool I loved it there was plenty of things to do for just starting out as well as for the experts. They are very friendly and welcoming. There was no pressure to do any of the walls I was uncomfortable doing there are roped areas as well as free climb walls.

I walked into Onsight as a new Knoxville resident and without a climbing partner, but very quickly was surrounded by a great community. After only a few visits all of the staff greeted me by name. Clean place, frequently updated climbing routes, and great events and competitions. Thanks for all you guys do!

Very, very nice gym. I visited Knoxville for the weekend and found this gym to get some climbing in. Great staff and the climbing was amazing. I mostly boulder but was super inspired by the rope climbing. The bouldering section is smallish, but has lots of really fun problems and is laid out efficiently so about 10 or more people could be on the wall at one time. The rock walls are impressive and have routes that could push almost anyone. I think they said they had 5.13 max. Can't say enough great things about the overall experience. Everything felt safe and secure, everything was clean, and I was able to climb for several hours without touching the majority of routes, and only climbing routes once. If I lived in Knoxville I'd already be signed up for a membership.

Fun routes with a good cluster in the 5.9/5.10 range (closer to 5.9). The setters are definitely tall people who enjoy high stepping but the routes themselves are fun with some nice moves.
