Black Diamond ATC Guide

Great ATC

By Ranked #140 - Belay and Rappel Devices July 27, 2011

Works just like everyone's old ATC, but you can bring up two seconds in the autolock mode and it has the ridged side for extra friction if you are rapelling with a pack or in a rescue situation. Just awesome advance as far as ATCs go. Often imitated never duplicated. Trick: put a runner girth hitched through the other hole when in autolock mode, to assist in unlocking it if your second gets stuck on the crux and needs lowered.
