As I was hanging there with my fingertips on the smallest of cracks in the wall, my feet were slipping, I clenched my teeth let out a grunting rawer, and dove for the adjacent ledge. As I glided through the air on my way to the ledge, a shimmer of blue metallic light caught my eye on my harness. My Black Diamond Big Air XP shining bright and reflecting this beautiful blue aura of light off of it's gorgeous blue anodized finish. I realized I had purchased a truly majestic piece of climbing equipment rivaled by no other. looking back up I realized I had overshot the ledge by a few inches, corrected my grip, and proceeded to fall off the face of the wall and into an uncontrolled free fall.

I have not climbed with these yet, but they look really good and sturdy. I'm looking forward to seeing how the high-friction mode of the ATC compares to the regular ATC that I'm used to.The carabiner I received had a visible defect on the nose, so I submitted a warranty claim with Black Diamond and they quickly sent a replacement. Great customer service and a company you can trust!The replacement they sent was actually a Black Diamond RockLock Screwgate carabiner, and I like it much more than the one that came in this combo. The original carabiner only needed about 1.5 turns of the screw to open the gate -- a bit too small for my peace of mind. The RockLock needs about 3 full turns to open the gate,

I got this because I'd been having to borrow my friend's every time it was her turn to climb. This is the same one she has, except the newer version. Also, way prettier (hers is just plain silver). The blue is just gorgeous in person, and this one has a nice texturing to it. My favorite part of this belay device is how much friction there is against the rope. I honestly feel like you would have to be trying to drop someone. It makes me feel secure when belaying - I'm finally able to relax and stop white-knuckling it so my hands actually have recovery time in between climbs. The carabiner is high quality and easy to maneuver as well as the belay device.

I bought this exact package 3 years ago during a Sport Chalet closeout sale and learned to belay with it. Absoletuly loved this ATC! Was easy to use, great color and never failed during my indoor or outdoor toprope/sport climbing. The paint started to show some minor wear as the years went on but I never felt the integrity of the device was every put into question.Sadly my gear got stolen, and so did this ATC. Fortunately was able to find it here on ATC and bought it immediately. No issues with my second device and feels nice to have fresh breaking teeth for it!

I got the XP as me and my girlfriend are newer to climbing, we grew up with the birthday parties and random times going, but we wanted to start going a lot more. Since we are basically self taught, I wanted the extra protection when getting belayed, this thing snags on the rope really hard, which is a good thing, it takes a few belays to get used to the speed, but it can snag really good on the extra teeth and i feel coompletely comfortable in a brand new newbies hands. Get it if your new to the sport for sure.

As a new climber, I'm most afraid of letting someone drop. Especially when belaying someone significantly heavier than me, I get pretty nervous. Since I've had this, I've felt a lot more confident. It lets me let down by climber easier and without hassle. Plus the blue is pretty and matches my harness :)

I don't know much about this rock climbing stuff, other than I take my kid to classes at the local indoor rock climbing place as he has a lot of fun. All the teachers and regulars there use this so my kid had to have it. He loves it and it works well. No complaints.

Bought this as my first belay device and I’m super pleased. I am a small women and it works will for others around my size. But I do need to. Use a smaller carabiner with sport belaying those who are way bigger than I. But overall love the device and carabiner

Not an extremely experience climber, but this works exactly as it is supposed to in both the gym and outdoors. I was unaware of this, but someone did tell me that if you are ever wanted to do multi-pitch climbs you do need a different kind of belay device.

Great all around belay device especially for indoor climbing. Light weight but very solid. The rope feeds easily and automatically into the friction teeth when braking. Slack is easy to feed without slipping. Highly recommend this device for any climber.

Less smooth operating carabiner than you can get but it does the job like it’s supposed to. The ATC is an ATC....enough said. Simple and effective. Not the nicest thing on the market but cheap, simple and effective.

We have loved everything we have used from Black Diamond. My husband has been using Black Diamond products since 1999. This ATC package is great for gym use and outdoors. We used it in the gym last night.

I was supposed to get the orange one but they sent a blue one instead. The blues don’t match, and that will kind of bug me but the quality is the same and it looks like it will work well!

The Black Diamond quality and durability that is unique to the brand. Getting both this ATC and a carabiner is a steal. The size of the carabiner is excellent, and not too big.

My first belay device. Works as intended, arrived without any blemishes. I expect it to last the 5 years. I hope the carabiner lasts. The threads feel somewhat cheap.
