Black Diamond ATC-Guide Alpine Belay/Rappel Device

A more compact, lighter version of the versatile ATC-Guide, the ATC-Alpine Guide is built for smash and grab ascents in the mountains. At just 73 grams, this featherweight belay/rappel device is optimized for ropes between 8.1 and 8.5 millimeters in diameter yet works with ropes from 6.9 to 9mm.

Features of the Black Diamond ATC-Guide Alpine Belay/Rappel Device

• Multiple friction modes for belay and rappel
• Updated construction makes the device 10% lighter with improved rope handling
• Auto-block release hole accepts small carabiners
• Durable cable holds its shape and resists getting caught up

The oval-ized anchor-hole allows for easy feeding and pulling of rope, and the device's guide mode lets you belay one or two seconding climbers off an anchor. Multiple friction modes provide the optimal amount of stopping power when lowering or rappelling.
