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.

improving a classic??
We all know the ATC. We probably all have
one or have owned one at some point. How can BD possibly improve on such a
classic, clean, simple, lightweight and proven design? They add teeth. I was
skeptical about the ATC-XP at first, but I am a believer now. It's basically the
same trusted feel of the regular ATC but when you want to use them, the teeth
are a worthy feature. Skinny double rope rappels won't cause your palms to heat
up like a burner plate anymore. And it's still lightweight, compact, and of
course bombproof. Pick one up.
Better in Every Way
Just as solid
as the standard ATC, the ATC XP is great for weaker belayers, for more control,
or for lazy belays. Repels and belays just as well as the standard ATC. Bomber.
great!
On pictures it may look a little fragile, or weak, but when you have
it on your biner, you change your mind. While belaying you don?t worry of your
partner, because it holds falls great. While rappelling you can control your
descent great. Highly recommended.
atc-xp
I am a beginner to
repelling so I don't know too much about the sport. I bought the ATC-XP because
it was the best price I found. I have used it a couple of times and so far it
has worked great.

This variable Friction belay device is
great. It gives you a little more control and makes belaying easier than the
regular ATC in high friction mode. However if you do not want high friction just
turn it around and it is like the regular ATC. Great product. Recommend buying
it if you do a lot of belaying.
