Big Air Belay Package

Yup, this works for it's intended purpose. Never, never use cheap no-name climbing gear. You're literally betting your life on it working. IDK about you, but my life is worth it.

Highly recommend! The belay device is high quality for sure!

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 got this because I'd been having to borrow my friend's every time it was her turn to climb. This is the same one she has, except the newer version. Also, way prettier (hers is just plain silver). The blue is just gorgeous in person, and this one has a nice texturing to it. My favorite part of this belay device is how much friction there is against the rope. I honestly feel like you would have to be trying to drop someone. It makes me feel secure when belaying - I'm finally able to relax and stop white-knuckling it so my hands actually have recovery time in between climbs. The carabiner is high quality and easy to maneuver as well as the belay device. This is a great combo for a great price (my friend has pro-deals and tried to find something for me for a better price but couldn't). Go for it, you'll be pleased.

Well made and works well.

As I expected

I bought this exact package 3 years ago during a Sport Chalet closeout sale and learned to belay with it. Absoletuly loved this ATC! Was easy to use, great color and never failed during my indoor or outdoor toprope/sport climbing. The paint started to show some minor wear as the years went on but I never felt the integrity of the device was every put into question. Sadly my gear got stolen, and so did this ATC. Fortunately was able to find it here on ATC and bought it immediately. No issues with my second device and feels nice to have fresh breaking teeth for it!

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.
