Black Diamond ATC XP : Manufacturers description.
The ATC-XP offers two modes of use so you can give a smooth ride to anyone. Deep, cleated V-grooves provide higher friction for catching heavier climbers or when using smaller ropes in icy conditions. Its thick walls and smooth curves make it incredibly rope-friendly. Use the regular-friction side when belaying lighter climbers, for long rappels on slabs or when you need a little less friction for smoother feeds. Because friction generates heat, the ATC-XP’s swanky gel logos insulate your fingers from skin-burning heat during rappels. This is a versatile device that offers a tremendous bite and is excellent for all-season use.
- Belay/abseil device with exceptional holding power
- Great for use with ropes of different diameters—8.1–11 mm
- Thick rope-bearing radii reduce rope wear
Approx weight : 89 grams.
