Wild Country Pro Lite Belay Device

I have used a lot of ATC's over the years for canyoneering and my favorite for years has been the Wild Country VC Pro II... and then the made it better!!! The Pro Lite is the exact same, but has some holes cut out in the side walls to shave some weight. The huge benefit of the VC Pro II/Pro Lite over other brands/models is that downward curve in the side. The benefit to that is if you are on a high rappel or a skinny rope, you can hook up on the ribbed side for more friction when you get near the bottom of the rap, but move the rope off to the side on that smooth downward side for less friction when starting your rappel. ATC's also don't twist the heck out of your rope like 8's do. I have gone through lots of the ATC's and the ribbed area is the first to wear out so you don't need to worry about the big holes in the side causing problems or failing on you. This is my go to Rappel Device for Canyoneering. LOVE IT!!!

Has held up in several canyons canyoneering as well as a belay device for climbing. Very Satisfied with my purchase. I like bette than my Petzl verso. Great Product !
