Black Diamond Auto Locking Belay Device

Often copied but never equaled the black diamond act provides lightweight and durable belaying and rappelling performance anytime anywhere.

Black diamond auto locking belay device.

This classic design features a large surface area that dissipates heat when lowering or rappelling and the smooth handling geometry accommodates rope sizes from 7 7 mm to 11 mm. 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. The black diamond atc guide is a tough belay device and provides the best value for multi pitch climbing. The black diamond atc pilot is a geometry assisted belay device for ropes in the 8 7 to 10 5 mm range.

The atc guide has an additional attachment point. Like the atc xp it also has grooves to increase friction for a belay. 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. Combining maximum security and ease of use like never before the black diamond magnetron gridlock uses the power of magnets to reinvent the auto locking carabiner.

It combines a standard tube style design with the ability to belay seconding climbers directly off the anchor on multi pitch climbs conveniently auto blocking to catch their falls. 10 lighter than its predecessor with improved feeding and pulling in guide mode the versatile black diamond atc guide belay device offers multiple friction modes for belaying and rappelling. When the rope is weighted the angle of the device changes locking the rope down though as we mentioned above you still need to keep your brake hand on the rope. The black diamond atc guide belay rappel device has an enlarged auto block release hole to accept a small carabiner and 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.

Black diamond has another belay device known as the atc guide. While the atc and atc xp are tubular aperture belay devices the atc guide is an aperture style self braking belay device.
