Black Diamond ATC-Guide: The Ultimate Versatile Belay and Rappel Device
Elevate your climbing experience with the legendary Black Diamond ATC-Guide, the definitive belay and rappel device for climbers who demand versatility and uncompromising performance. As the trusted workhorse in the Black Diamond lineup, the ATC-Guide is the go-to choice for alpinists, multi-pitch traditional climbers, and crag-day enthusiasts alike. This single piece of climbing equipment is engineered to handle nearly any situation the mountains can throw at you, offering a seamless blend of safety, efficiency, and lightweight design.
The standout feature of this iconic device is its impeccable guide mode, which transforms multi-pitch climbing. This function allows you to securely and efficiently belay one or even two seconding climbers directly off an anchor. The auto-blocking capability provides an essential layer of security, giving you the confidence to manage ropes, communicate with your partner, and prepare for the next pitch without constant tension on the brake strand. This streamlined process makes for faster, safer, and more enjoyable transitions on long routes.
Experience unparalleled control with the device´s multiple friction modes. The design features both a high-friction and a regular-friction setting, providing the optimal amount of stopping power for any scenario. This adaptability ensures smooth, confident belays and rappels, whether you´re working with modern, skinny ropes or thicker, more durable lines. You can easily fine-tune your descent speed or provide a secure catch, enhancing overall safety and control.
Our most versatile belay/rappel device, the Black Diamond ATC-Guide is now 10% lighter and features improved handling in guide mode. With an oval-ized anchor-hole, the device now feeds rope and allows you to pull rope more easily. Multiple friction modes provide the optimal amount of stopping power when lowering or rappelling, and the device´s guide mode lets you belay one or two seconding climbers off an anchor.
Designed for the rigors of frequent use, the ATC-Guide is built to endure. Its robust construction is complemented by thoughtful details that enhance usability in the field. The durable, molded cable holds its shape over time and masterfully resists getting snagged or tangled with ropes and other gear on your harness, keeping your system organized and ready for action when you need it most. For added convenience in guide mode, the auto-block release hole is sized to accept small carabiners, making it easier than ever to safely and controllably release a loaded rope.
