The big air package gives you all you really need for climbing and rappelling all in one. The simple design makes for easy use and it fits easily in a pack pocket.

Awsome belay. Would normally use an 8 but i picked one of these up to try out and it performed great. Great braking and the oversized biner in the package is lightweight and useful even with my 8. Now i carry both in my bag. The 8 gets me speed and this ATC gives me time to rap with minimal effort. It also works great when you have to belay your buddies from the bottom or overhead, very smooth. For a beginner this is the first piece of equipment i would recommend, but you'll keep it forever.

No, this isn't the best belay device, but it is solid and should always be carried outside as a backup, especially on long multipitch climbs just in case you drop your primary device. A nice, reasonable package too.

This is a great starter set for anyone getting into climbing. Awesome for top roping or gym climbing!

Black Diamond Big Air Package is a great starter package. The The Black Diamond ATC Belay Device is still the standard for tube style devices. Every manufacture tries to copy this device but still haven’t made one better. You can get extra friction by adding a biner under the device.

I would NOT recommend this product being bought from Backcountry. No disrespect from them, but I had alot of problems with this. I originally ordered one and it came in a timely manner, but with not locking biner. So I talked to there customer service (which were really nice and understanding) and I got another one shipped. So, I'm opening it and I look at it and there is no biner. Now I am a litter mad. One missing is fine, not stressed. But two? Thats aggravating. So they ship a third one, telling me it is on there. They were right, I finally got one with a locking biner. If you really want climbing gear, pay the extra and get it straigh from the company when you know that they have it instead of going through two companies. Other than that mishap, It works great. No problems, performs well.

2 years of use and still going strong. couple marks on it from use..but nothing that is makes me question its strength. Works well for belaying and repelling. I have used it many of times without any flaws. TY BD for another superior product.

This is a pretty decent little belay device. Doesn't cost very many dollars, works fairly well and doesn't weigh too much. The beaner is of standard quality, wide enough to help provide appropriate friction. Find a better combo for $27 and I'll be impressed.

Being new to the climbing scene, I needed something that was easy to use and wouldn't break the bank. This combo served both purposes admirably. The BD-esque ATC/biner combo is pretty much the standard for recreational climbers. Owning one allowed me to not only be familiar with my own setup but by learning on this combo I have been able to belay for friends, family, neighbors and strangers who more often that not own a similar belay device. Saying that, I would strongly encourage new climbers to invest in one. Only small gripe is that it is a bit of a slow rappel with burly gym ropes if you weigh less than 140lbs.

Each individual piece is great, and as a package, it's solid. The ATC is basically the standard of modern belay/rappel devices and the simplicity of it shows you why. The AirLock2 'biner is stellar, a wide mouth to swallow up messy belay stations, and a smooth gate sleeve action to make sure it opens and closes when you are getting pumped. I do have one thing to say about it though, it tends to, in my personal experience, cross-load during a rappel. I think it is due to the shape, the whole 'biner loads almost angular, but is not a problem if you pay attention to your system.

The device is simple enough - that it's hard to make mistakes with (no need to remember which way to thread the rope etc) - and the carabiner is a good, large one - that is perfect for tying a Munter knot on in a pinch.

Good package at a great price. Buying these two pieces of equipment in a package saves you a few bucks. Good, simple, lightweight ATC and locking carabiner to begin climbing with!

As far as price and functionality, this is an excellent purchase. Especially for beginners, this is what you need to help get you started and climbing. Lightweight and easy on the rope! One of the first things in my gear bag.

This is a great set for a day of top roping or as a backup device. It's very nice for beginners. The biner is really nice too as the square shape gives it more holding power. I mostly use my ATC Guide now for lead climbing but generally carry this as a backup.

This is the classic belay device-carabiner combo! it's perfect for the beginning climber who just wants to get out for a day, and for expert climbers spending days on the wall. The package will save you a few dollars on buying the items separately.

If you say this is great for beginner or expert then why did you only give it 4 stars?

Is there anything negative about this setup?

Being a novice climber, I wasn’t exactly sure what all I needed to start climbing, but after talking to the experienced and knowledgeable staff, they recommended the Black Diamond Big Air Package. I was greatly satisfied with this product and would recommend it to any beginner climber.
