Black Diamond Equipment Black Diamond ATC-XP Belay Device

A true variable-friction device, the ATC-XP maintains the silky-smooth feeding of the ATC but ups the braking power. For belaying and rappelling with 7.7-11 mm ropes, it's designed with a smooth, low-friction side and a high-friction side with v-shaped grooves for three times more friction. An extended central web keeps biners and ropes properly oriented and helps reduce kinking.

• High friction mode offers 3 times greater hold and stopping power
• Geometric, fluid design reduces rope kinking
• Super versatile for all styles of climbing with ropes 7.7mm to 11mm
