Onsight Climbing Gym

Facility: 4.6÷5.0; The facility is nicely sized, I guess it was some sports facility previously. Apparently it gets very crowded on usual days (after talking with a regular), I went on Chinese New Year day so it wasn’t too crowded. Many strong climbers here. Lots of easy to find routes, though the difficulties in bouldering area are marked as a range rather than a single difficulty. Lots of fans to keep you cool since it’s not air conditioned. Mats in good condition. Wish they had available chalk bags close to the walls.
Price: 2.0÷5.0; it’s $ 18SGD for guests. Pretty steep. $ 11 SGD if you pay their membership fee (regulars/​locals). Shoe rentals another $ 6SGD. I suppose it’s not so bad if you’re a local but visitors might feel the pain. I guess its supply and demand, and they can charge since it’s usually so busy.

I’ve seen this place for many months as my daughter goes to gymnastics class in the same shared building. For so long we have wanted to try it out.
Finally this weekend got some friends together and tried it out. Two families, four adults and two kids ‚$ 200 for two hours with two instructors. It worked out fantastic, the two instructors were also belayers working the ropes to keep us safe and we could try just about any wall we wanted. They helped guide us as needed, but weren’t overly controlling, just letting us have fun and help as needed. Where the staff really went above and beyond was how they handled our two four year old girls. They quickly grew tired of the big walls and ropes and took to the bouldering walls like a fish to water. While instructors and belaying aren’t needed for this, one of the instructors watched them and guided them while still allowing the adults to keep climbing the big walls. Above and beyond.
We plan on going back, hopefully soon and often.

Onsight isn’t the most amazing climbing gym I’ve ever been to (in the world) but it’s pretty great nonetheless and one of the best gyms in Singapore.
What I particularly like is that it has a good range of easy and difficult top rope routes as well as a massive bouldering wall. Great for bringing friends who are newbies, yet more than enough challenges if you’re an experienced climber.
The staff is always friendly, and there’s a good crowd of regular there as well. Even though I live very close to Climb Asia, I usually prefer to make the trek to Onsight because of the better ranges of routes and problems there.

What an awesome climbing gym. The bouldering section is divided into three parts, beginner, intermediate and advance. Very ideal for climbers of all climbing levels. For someone new to climbing, all you have to do is head to the beginner’s bouldering area. The staff at the gym is also very helpful and always ready to answer any questions you might have. It’s also family friendly. We brought our little nephew here to climb and they made sure to talk to him and make him comfortable during his visit at the gym. There are lots of couch and sitting area here and you can also grab basic refreshments while you are here. As a climber I am thoroughly impressed with this gym. The climbing walls are also very tall and ideal for training for an upcoming outdoor climb. Awesome… awesome…awesome

The place is very popular and sees a varied crowd from kids and JC/​polytechnic teenagers to expats. Peak hours are from morning till noon on weekends and after 6pm on week days.
As noobs, we headed over to the bouldering section and mucked around for a bit. While the two guys at the counter were friendly enough, they could have provided more directions or explanations on say the rules of bouldering/​routes/​levels of difficulty etc. Without the assistance of a fellow climber, we’d probably be making a nuisance of ourselves and possibly breaking our necks. It was a fun enough experience, and I’ll probably be back again to try and conquer some routes.

Onsight is the biggest indoor climbing gym in Singapore. Over a space of 10,000sqft, Onsight boasts 2000sqft of bouldering surfaces and a 15m speed climbing wall, among other things.
