Can't go wrong

By Backcountry.com Sponsored Athlete Ranked #40 - Belay and Rappel Devices February 24, 2009

I found this device to work just as well as the BD ATC guide. Both work exceptionally well. The reverso 3 was near impossible to rappel with in the extra friction mode, but i just spun it around and it rappelled like a champ. I do feel as though the ropes pull through a bit easier than the BD making life easier on your elbows.
