Great ATC

By Jeff Chrisler Ranked #114 - Big Wall Climbing March 9, 2009

Definitely my favorite device with which to belay. The ATC-XP is good, but the teeth are simply too much for the skinny people I usually belay (plus switching it around just seems a little strange to me), but the ATC guide has just enough bite to catch and lower nicely. In addition, the ability to guide people with it in a top-belay format adds a lot to this. I love the auto-locking feature with an additional biner. Awesome stuff from BD as usual... and I even bought my g/f one... hence I trust her just a bit more now on big whippers.
