First Choice for Wide Cams!!

by Siptastic, from CT, United States Written on December 3, 2017
These cams are great! I have lead around 15 offwidths and have used either these or the BD #5 cam. Personally, I would rather have this Wild Country #5. The trigger leaves some room to be desired because it is not a smooth trigger. There is some rubbing against the lobes when pulling the trigger. The trigger is harder to pull, but that gives me more confidence on lead. I will say though what makes me choose these is how they resist walking when placed identically with the BD #5. I found this after being inspired by the WideBoyz and these cams are awesome. They hold up very well from my climbs with them and I would recommend this product to anyone.
Pros:
  • strong spring tension
  • Resists walking
Cons:
  • rough trigger
  • hard to find in USA
Best Used for:
  • climbing
  • offwidth
Would recommend: Yes

Replacement for old 4.5 Camalot

by TommyK, from CO, United States Written on July 3, 2017
Accidentally left my favorite off-size piece of gear (an old 4.5 Camalot, along with a bunch of other stuff) hanging from tree at a crag near Naples, Idaho. Didn't notice that it was missing until we got to Golden, BC. That was a bummer, but on the bright side, I finally got around to purchasing a#5 Friend as a replacement. Solid construction, smooth action, and especially the weight savings have really helped to ease the pain inflicted by my stupidity. A solid piece of gear that is much lighter than my old favorite.
