Black Diamond ATC-XP Belay Device Reviews

We have always used run of the mill ATCs. We got this because I'm heavy (over 200lbs) and my special lady is light (around 130). I feel less guilty when I hang dog because now when I look back, she's smiling up at me. We have been talking about lead climbing for weeks and she wanted a grigri because she sees 90% of girls who lead belay at our gym use them. Our teacher-to-be encourages learning on an ATC because they promote better habits. This belay device was the compromise. My special lady says it's much easier to belay me and I can see that she feels confident about learning to lead belay now that she has this added stopping power. Out of curiosity, I belayed her with this device in High Friction mode. It took a lighter tough to stop her falls and lowering her was smooth. Good tool. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: Good, solid variable-friction belay device, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Black Diamond ATC-XP Belay Device (Misc.) I purchased this belay device even though I already own the Black Diamond APC Belay Device. While the APC is a great model that belays smoothly, I wanted something with a little extra bite for those times when I'm lead climbing and my girlfriend is belaying. Well, it works great! With the ribbed side facing your brake hand, the rope stops instantly with little effort on your part. If you're looking for smoother rope flow, you can flip the device so that the ribbed side is away from your brake hand. In this position it acts similar to the ATC. Personally, I think it's worth the extra couple of bucks to get this model over the ATC, although they're both great devices. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: Belay device, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Black Diamond ATC-XP Belay Device (Misc.) this is a great belay device for my 15yr old daughter. I weigh about 200lbs & she weighs around 100lbs. the extra "teeth" on the XP works great for her! I am totally comfortable as she belays me and she feels confident being my "safety net". |
