The next logical evolutionary step for BD's excellent ATC belay/rappel device. The Guide version adds an eye that allows the device to be used in autolock mode, which is awesome for bringing up the second. There is also a small eyelet that can be used to attach a sling to wrench the thing out of autolock if that should become necessary. It's high friction mode offers twice the friction of the regular mode--a plus when using thin ropes or belaying a heavy climber. It accepts a wide range of rope diameters, so unlike the competing Reverso, one size fits all (at least with today's ropes).
