Black Diamond Equipment: Atc Guide

One device to do it all, the ATC-Guide offers maximum versatility. It has a smooth, regular friction side and, for twice the friction, a grooved side. When you're belaying from above, the guide mode lets you bring up one or two seconding climbers with ease and control. For lowering, it has a small secondary hole that you can girth hitch for more leverage to release the device.

• Mulitple friction modes for belay and rappel
• Guide mode works with one or two climbers ascending and descending
• Dependable and smooth operation in all conditions handling ropes from 7.7 mm to 11 mm
