A
true variable-friction device, the ATC-XP maintains
the silky-smooth feeding of the ATC but ups the braking
power. For belaying and rappelling with 7.7-11 mm ropes,
it’s designed with a smooth, low-friction side
and a high-friction side with v-shaped grooves for
three times more friction. An extended central web
keeps biners and ropes properly oriented and helps
reduce kinking.
