Drop forged from aircraft quality 7075-T6 aluminum alloy, the Air Traffic Controller is one of the most popular belay/rappel devices. It’s light, easy to operate, and won’t lock up unexpectedly. Also, when used correctly, the ATC won’t kink your cord. The complex geometry of the ATC allows it to feed rope smoothly yet hold your partner’s screamers with ease. As a rappel tool the ATC provides a silky smooth ride and its extensive surface area dissipates heat.
- Easy to use and specifically designed to feed rope smoothly
- Locks up well with 9-11 mm ropes; with 8.1 and smaller, use two biners for more locking power
- New models come with a stronger keeper wire
- Simple, elegant design that’s stood the test of time and is now a classic
