    ATC-Guide Belay Device
    Black Diamond · $55ATC-Guide Belay Device
    Spencer“The best quiver-of-one plaquette/tube-style device by a mile. Wider aperture (hole size) than its competitors for advanced top-belay scenarios with 1 or 2 climbers. Buy this first for rappels over a standard tube style device so you don't have to buy a second one later!”
    HMS Bulletproof Triple
    EdelridHMS Bulletproof Triple
    Spencer“Pair this with your ATC and never worry about grooving again. Also great for masterpoint lockers! Auto-lockers are great here for not having to remember to lock the gate!”
    ROCHA
    Petzl · $26ROCHA
    Spencer“A compact pear-shaped carabiner for multi-purpose use! Great for clove hitches and munter belays. Screw gates are mandatory if you only have 1 hand available!”
    Sm'D (USA)

    HMPE Cord Sling
    EdelridHMPE Cord Sling
