Backcountry Store says: 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. Abseiling 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. An added bonus in the thick rope-bearing radii of the ATC-XP which means ropes wear less and last longer. *Assorted colors. Bottom Line: Black Diamond has made an essential piece of climbing gear essentially better.

About Black Diamond

What began with a backyard anvil and a hammer has grown into a global company with offices on two continents that's not just for rock climbers, but one that stands for the spirit of the sports we live, their values and goals, past, present and future. Since 1957, our innovative gear designs have set the standards in numerous areas. This is partly the result of dedication, desire and diligence on the part of an incredible team of people. It's also the result of each of us being climbers and skiers ourselves. We're a company of users - it's who we are. We're the greatest dreamers about what could be, and the harshest of critics about what exists and because of this, the creation of Black Diamond is a process which will never end. The company today is more committed than ever, thanks to the many people both here in the U.S. and at Black Diamond Europe whose limitless energy and hands-on involvement have created a promising future for all climbers and skiers worldwide.
