ATC-Guide Climbing Belay/Rappel Device

About the Black Diamond ATC-Guide

At Black Diamond, innovation never stops, and the newly updated ATC-Guide is no different, building upon the success of previous generations with its new redesign. Worry not, it's still kept all the features that made it so popular with climbers to begin with, but the modern design is now 10% lighter with an improved feeding and pulling guide mode.

The ATC-Guide is aimed at climbers who are looking for the whole deal in the realm of manual belaying.

With multiple friction modes to accommodate different situations and a large rope handling range from 7.7mm to 11mm, its main point of difference is that it can be used in guide mode for one or two climbers to ascend or descend simultaneously. Belaying off anchors is facilitated with this piece of kit, as is rappelling and hauling up the rest of your gear. Highly recommended for trad climbers and climbing in alpine conditions, this versatile device can of course function in simple gym scenarios too.

Black Diamond have worked on this device to deliver a lightweight belay device thanks to its machined windows which also helps to reduce heat build-up, it is also durable as you would expect and hot forged.

For simple, confidence-inducing kit, look no further than the Black Diamond ATC-Guide.
