The classic and recommended beginner belay device for a reason. Well made, great quality. It does it all, single or dual rope, belaying and allows for abseiling. Still my preferred belay device after 24 years of climbing.This requires a standard belay method which teaches you good belay technique for any style of device In the future. A much better way to learn than learning an assisted belay method to start with a specialist belay device, which then means you never have the right technique for any other situation in the future.Highly recommended.

I go indoor rock climbing every weekend and I noticed my old ATC was getting worn slightly so decided to invest in a new one. Black Diamond's always been a good brand in my eyes and this item's no different.Holds steady even when there's a pretty big difference in weight between belayer and climber (basically I'm overweight), metal feels really solid and I've been trusting my life to it for the past few weeks now.

Simple, inexpensive, functional, and light. What's not to love? And it works with both the 11+mm gym ropes you are likely to encounter as well as 9mm lead climbing ropes.I also own an XP Guide and much prefer the ATC XP for gym use. The rope slots in the Guide are narrower for some reason and it does not work well with fat gym ropes. So unless you actually intend to top belay someone, this is what you want.

One of the smoothest devices I've used to belay with. Even when using thick ropes or those with kinks, this device was as smooth as butter. Unlike previous devices, it effortlessly grips the rope when climbers want you to 'take' or come off of the wall suddenly - good when you're belaying someone heavier than you. Very light-weight too. Paired this with the Black Diamond Gridlock Screwgate carabiner.

Although this product does its job perfectly, for little difference in price and a weight difference of only 10 gr. the atc guide has many more utilities. Although at the beginning one is tempted by the cheapest equipment, when advancing in the sport one prefers to have spent a little more and not spend 2 times.

After trying a buddy's I had to get one. Compared to my Edelrid Jul Sport the feeding was so much smoother and the feel was overall more confident. Braking performance is consistent and it's very light. Probably one of the best tube style belay devices on the market.

Excellent quality item, only used once but I'm still alive, so that's got to be a good thing! Friction could be slightly higher, but I've been told one can use 2 biners under it instead of one to help with this. Overall, very impressed

I don't rock climb but I did use this for a DIY solar install to protect myself while on a 2-story roof. After a few youtube videos I was able to quickly do the tie-off belay knot where you stop the rope at a fixed length.

I started with one like this and bought another. Its great and reliable. Really good for beginners so when I go with newbys that don't have their own equipment, I let them borrow this one. Can't go wrong with these.

This atc is super handy, fits all sizes of ropes making it more versatile than a gri gri in most ways. Black diamond is quality you can trust, this atc will last you a life time if you use it correctly.

This belay device worked very well. Is is so easy to use, the friction is good for a a beginner to belay a large size climber.I cannot wait to train my boy top rope climbing this weekend.

No complaints about this device. It does what it's meant to. If the user knows what they're doing, no problems should be encountered.Nothing special about this non-locking belay device.

I like it. It's a solid atc. It does it's job, I live in the Seattle area and it got here in decent time. Black diamond is a solid brand. I'd recommend their stuff all day

Well made, solid belay device! I've had this for just about a year now, using in a gym and it still looks brand new. Will continue to buy from this company!

High quality product, as one would expect from Black Diamond. Worked well with 10mm rope for rappelling. Would recommend for versatility and ease of use.
