User Review: Black Diamond ATC-Guide

Black Diamond ATC-Guide
Above: The current ATC-Guide, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Price Paid: retail

I have tried every belay device on the market that was designed to be used in an auto-block situation. The BD ATC-Guide is my go-to device. I use it exclusively when climbing for fun or when guiding.

The single connection point is easier to use and more stable than the B-52, and the thick aluminum lasts longer than the thin material of the Reverso. Petzl has improved on the design of the Reverso, but the BD ATC-Guide is still a better device. It can be used in low or high friction mode (something Petzl used in their update of the Reverso) and also as an ascender.
