Excelente producto (: lo recomiendo

If just getting into climbing and still not sure if the sport is for you and don’t want to borrow ur friends piece than this is a perfect optionIf you are thinking about long term climbing u might wanna skip this purchase and check out auto locking belay devices. I use Mammut 2.0 cuz that’s what my friend had. Just started lead climbing and prefer this atc over Mammut but it doesn’t have the safety features I want. I’m leaning towards edelrid giga jul as being my last lifetime device(tbd) despite grigri being very popular for auto locking devicesAlso, auto locking carabiners are nice to since I have dementia when it comes to screwing the lock. Again do your research I bought a triple action and used it with Mammut and it was thin to the point where the lessened friction made it hard to control my climbers descent

I can be frugal with a lot of things in life; but when it comes to safety, quality is more important and I can tell you this is a quality carabiner and belay device.

I participated in a belaying class where we used the exact same item. To stay on the safe side I ordered it for myself so I cannot go wrong with it. Came well packed and used it several times already.

I'm a rock climber. In my experience, Black Diamond equipment is *ALWAYS* reliable.I've used this ATC for rappelling and it performed great. The teeth on the inside provide a nice amount of bite, which will take some strain away from whichever hand you're using to feed the rope.For belaying, I prefer to use a Grigri, so I haven't used this ATC for belaying.It comes with a large carabiner that is great for belaying and rappelling, I chose this package over a standalone ATC because it came with a very nice carabiner, and for the price it was a no-brainer.I'd highly recommend this ATC/carabiner combo.

I have not climbed with these yet, but they look really good and sturdy. I'm looking forward to seeing how the high-friction mode of the ATC compares to the regular ATC that I'm used to.The carabiner I received had a visible defect on the nose, so I submitted a warranty claim with Black Diamond and they quickly sent a replacement. Great customer service and a company you can trust!The replacement they sent was actually a Black Diamond RockLock Screwgate carabiner, and I like it much more than the one that came in this combo. The original carabiner only needed about 1.5 turns of the screw to open the gate -- a bit too small for my peace of mind. The RockLock needs about 3 full turns to open the gate, which feels much more secure to me.So I would actually recommend you get the Black Diamond ATC-XP and RockLock Screwgate carabiner separately, rather than this combo. Either way, Black Diamond makes good gear and I highly recommend.
