The last few years have seen the release of several new or updated “passive” assisted locking devices, including the ATC Pilot from Black Diamond. It provides the extra security of locking up all of the way and taking the pressure off your brake hand when compared to other tubular devices, though the manufacturer states that you should always keep your hand on the rope just in case. And it costs significantly less than most “active” assisted braking devices. We enjoyed using the ATC Pilot for top roping and lowering scenarios, but note that the use for this devices is somewhat limited, as it can only handle one strand of rope and work for single pitch climbing only. Since it’s so much cheaper than most auto-locking devices, this is a great option for programs or climbing gyms that want the extra security of the auto-lock without the expense when buying multiple units.
