A more compact and lighter version of our versatile ATC-Guide system, the ATC-Alpine Guide is designed for climbing in both rapide and léger modes. Weighing just 73 grams, this belay and abseil system falls into the featherweight category. It is optimized for 8.1 to 8.5 mm rope diameters, but also works with 6.9 to 9 mm ropes. The oval-shaped release eye facilitates rope handling, and the Guide mode allows one or two seconds of rope handling. Multi-braking modes offer optimum stopping power for top-roping or abseiling.PRODUCT FEATURESUltra léger and compact at 73 gramsMultiple braking modes for belaying and rappellingRelease eye compatible with small carabinersWear-resistant rope, won't deform or get caught between ropesGuide mode for belaying or belaying one or two climbers in second lineReliable, fluid system suitable for ropes from 6.9 to 9 mm, adaptable to a wide range of difficult situations
