Simple Sophistication

Whether it’s your only belay device or one you keep in your rotation, the Black Diamond ATC Guide Belay/Rappel Device is a professional grade option that won’t let you down. It’s compatible with a wide range of rope diameters, and it gives you the option of running it in guide mode, which lets you belay one or two seconding climbers off an anchor. Multiple grooved edges give you the friction you need to control the rope, and the structure has been streamlined to minimize weight without compromising durability. You don’t have to be a professional climbing guide to make this a smart addition to your climbing kit.
