Black Diamond ATC-XP Belay Device

Item #BLD1398 | 10 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Great for belay

By Ranked #270 - Belay and Rappel Devices June 19, 2009

I use a 10.3mm rope for rock climbing and the ATC-XP works great with it. The high friction side is great for belay, however not for rappel; it's a little bit too much friction and sometimes you have to feed the rope when you're beginning the descent at the top of the route. But that's why this ATC has a low friction side and it performs really good too. Definitely recommended.
