I have an ATC XP at the moment and was wondering what else was out there. I was out at a crag last month and somebody had what I thought was an over-engineered piece of kit for the purpose of causing friction and it got me wondering what was out there in this brave new modern world.
Thanks Alan, for the link to the reviews of modern designs of belay devices.
Edit
Anybody use a click-up, and what do you think of it, especially for somebody that has used an ATC for 20+ years?
