Full Description

The self-locking capability of the Black Diamond ATC Guide belay device makes it an excellent choice when you cast off on multi-pitch trad, ice, and alpine climbs. The ATC Guidewinner of the Climbing Magazine Editor’s Choice Awardbelays a leader just like any other tube-style device, but it can also be connected directly to your anchor to create a self-locking system when you’re belaying one or two following climbers. This allows you to eat, drink, tie your shoes, and take pictures as you belay with confidence that your partners are completely safe. Its unique release point lets you lower a following climber when the ATC Guide is in self-locking mode, even if he’s way heavier than you. The aggressive V-notch allows this belay device to work on ropes from 7.7 to 11mmeven when they’re icy.

    If you do multipitch, this is an awesome belay/rappel device. Set up in guide mode, it is incredibly easy to belay from the anchor. Good for ice climbing. Can be used to belay 2 seconds.
