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.

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!

The biggest problem with these types of belay devices is that they don't have the
"V" feature for locking off like the Black diamond ATC-XP. It is good for beginners, but the ATC-XP is much better.

The Black Diamond ATC is required equipment in most Adventure Races for a few simple reasons; It is easy to operate, lightweight, compact and doesn't destroy or twist ropes. The package is extremely good value with the locking carabiner but I wish they would have packaged it with a smaller lighter locking carabiner.

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.

lightweight yet extremely durable. you can't go wrong with BD.

It never hurts to get a deal by buying these in a package.Not a bad idea to have a few extra lying around as well. There are better devices than the ATC, but don’t you feel attached to your first belay device?

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.

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.
