Must Have For Multi Pitches

This belay device never leaves my harness. It’s simplistic and light. The ascend mode is also must need knowledge for any kind of adventure climbing. It will get you out of many sticky situations. I always put it on an extended rappel. Works good with my Mammut rope and doesn’t have too much friction. I’m a lighter climber and I can rappel without too much feeding. Easy to use and its functionality makes it a must have.

Great

I used this as my belay device for multi-pitch climbs with a 9.5mm rope, and it worked like a charm. So light I had to check it was still on my harness, yet the steel wear points are super durable. I would not recommend it for a gym climber, or someone who prefers thicker ropes. It is not designed for that use and doesn't feed very smoothly with ropes +10mm.

Has been durable, light, and nice for guide mode and rappelling

A Heavy, But Rugged Tube Style Device

This device is very heavy compared to its competitors, but it is MUCH tougher. This is a great workhorse device.

Best Alpine Atc On The Market

This is the best ATC I've used for smaller diameter alpine ropes. It breaks much better when catching lead falls on my 7.9mm alpine ropes, doesn't heat up the way traditional aluminum devices do on rappel, and is still pretty light, if that's something you care about.
