Description of Black Diamond ATC-XP:
|
The Black Diamond ATC-XP is a true variable-friction belay and rappel device with wicked holding power. With the ATC-XP, a climber can control how much friction they want while belaying or rapping, which in turn means greater control with multiple rope diameters. Ice climbing with an 8.1mm rope? Use the ATC-XP in high friction mode, pulling the rope over its contoured teeth. Rappelling with a fuzzy 11mm down a granite slab? Use the device in regular friction mode. An extended central web keeps 'biners and ropes properly oriented and reduces kinking. This Black Diamond belay device is such a favorite among climbers that it won the Climbing Magazine Editor's Choice Award. *Assorted colors.
|
|
Bottom Line: Black Diamond has made an essential piece of climbing gear essentially better.

| improving a classic?? 05-19-04 |
| backcountryreviewer - tony (21): |
| We all know the ATC. We probably all have one or have owned one at some point. How can BD possibly improve on such a classic, clean, simple, lightweight and proven design? They add teeth. I was skeptical about the ATC-XP at first, but I am a believer now. It's basically the same trusted feel of the regular ATC but when you want to use them, the teeth are a worthy feature. Skinny double rope rappels won't cause your palms to heat up like a burner plate anymore. And it's still lightweight, compact, and of course bombproof. Pick one up. |

| On pictures it may look a little fragile, or weak, but when you have it on your biner, you change your mind. While belaying you don´t worry of your partner, because it holds falls great. While rappelling you can control your descent great. Highly recommended. |

| Just as solid as the standard ATC, the ATC XP is great for weaker belayers, for more control, or for lazy belays. Repels and belays just as well as the standard ATC. Bomber. |
