Description

ATK-D canyon descender and belay device

The canyon descender ATK has been developed by the French canyoneer Jean-Claude Schiavinato and has been brought to the market after several try-outs and prototypes.

The ATK-D is similar to the ATK in its braking functions, but the ATKD has been optimized to be positioned at the relay, as a belay device

ROPES: Ropes from 8.5 to 12 mm

MANUFACTURING: Mass-machined, French manufacture. Designed and manufactured in Toulouse, FRANCE

ANTI-ROTATION CARABINER: The shape of the attachment point prevents rotation of the carabiner and thus makes it possible to use it as a belay device

STOP KEY: blocking knot stops fast, simple and easy to inspect. Gradual tension recovery thanks to the braking possibilities

The advantages of ATK:

• Simple and efficient to use
• Easy to use with double ropes, also easy to brake/block your descent on double rope.
• The upper jaw facilitates the management of the braking power without the risk of rope skipping
• The lower jaw is enlarged in order to easily separate the double ropes
• The shape of the ATK was refined to give users good control over the flow of the rope during descent
