Black diamond ATC-Alpine Guide belay device

The Black Diamond ATC-Alpine Guide is an ultralight, versatile belay and rappel device engineered for fast and efficient alpine ascents. Weighing just 73 grams, it´s optimized for skinny ropes (8.1-8.5mm) but compatible with 6.9-9mm ropes (half, twin, single). Its intuitive design features an ovalized anchor hole for smooth rope management and an exceptional guide mode for belaying one or two seconds directly from the anchor, with an auto-block release hole for easy lowering. Multiple friction modes offer optimal control for leading, lowering, and rappelling in varied conditions. A durable cable resists tangling, ensuring reliability on demanding routes
