First Choice for Wide Cams!!
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
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.
Would recommend: Yes
