Mmm... Lovely... (For the avoidance of doubt, that most definitely is sarcasm; I love indoor climbing that feels like outdoor climbing - like the wave - but not if it's tweaky ming)

For the avoidance of doubt and any possible legal action, Onyx is definitely not tweaky ming and seems like good prep for outdoors. Not all walls manage this - jumpy/compy seems to go hand in hand with an aversion to smaller holds. I backed off one pockety problem that seemed a bit risky on an old injury. ;D

Sorry, just a flying visit to the folks before a conference in Manchester!

Yeah totally, I think because the holds actually have friction you don't actually need to pull that hard on them, thereforeaking them safer and more realistic to outdoor climbing.
