Black Diamond ATC Guide

Got one of these pups before my trip to the Bugaboos last summer and it's a nice upgrade from the previous ATC-Guide. Just a little lighter. I use the plaquette mode often when doing multipitch routes and normal belaying and rappelling is super smooth and predictable, with good moderation, especially for skinny ropes. I use the Petzl 9.4 rope for both trad and sport climbing and these work great together.
