Anyone got one? Any good?

Haven't got one, but have played on the one at tca a bit, and would go beastmaker given the choice. Main gripe is the harder slopers are tooclosetogether which feels odd, but maybe you'd get awesome at matching in font, which is not to be sniffed at.

I've used one. It's well made and pretty good for a starter finger board. The big downside, alluded to by Duma, is that the hardest holds (slopers and thin edges) are in the middle so they feel awkward to pull up on.
Really it depends how hard you're climbing and want to train; if you climb 7A or harder then I'd get a beastmaker 2000. I haven't tried the 1000 series so can't comment on that compared to the TCA board except that the TCA one is £20 cheaper and less obtrusive (may be a good thing if you're in shared accommodation)

They're shit, tweaky horrible things.
