Product Info for Wild Country Climbing Friend Cam

Friends are the most iconic protection ever made. Throughout their 38 year tenure, although the construction has changed, their essence remains the same. At the heart of each iteration has been the definitive 13.75 cam angle; described, refined, and developed by Wild Country and proven in thousands of miles of cracks climbed since 1977! This new Friend is no different, built with a twin axle, it remains a Friend. At its core, their 13.75 constant cam angle provides the axis around which future climbers will place their trust. Robust and reliable, this Friend combines classic features and significant additions to create an intriguing mix of old and new. Externally stylish with significant design flourishes means the eye is drawn to any number of clever upgrades: hollow axles (patent pending) are stiffer for less weight, wide, skimmed lobes grip better, yet are kinder on the rock, new 12 mm Dyneema is agile and easily extended, saving time and the weight of having to use a quickdraw on each. Internals are based on classic Wild Country foundations; their legendary holding power and the consistency of overlap between units, whilst the twin axle has allowed them to increase the range per unit. Never defined by how it is built, but by how it performs, the Friend's iconic status is simply enhanced by this twin axle version. Crucially, this is design at its most practical, making the new Friend the only twin axle cam that combines the convenience and comfort of a thumb loop with the speed and utility of an extendable sling. Faster, smoother, lighter in use, and superbly finished, their clever combination of key features with innovative engineering makes the new Friend the most complete cam available.image

This cam works as exactly as expected and hoped. Extendable sling is nice to save gear on your harness and time spent getting pumped. Feels bomber and catches whips as one would hope. Cam performs same as my BD cams of other sizes.

I have been climbing on the Wild Country Friends for about a month now and absolutely LOVE them. They are noticeably lighter than the BD C4's that I had previously and the extendable slings have proven to be really handy in preventing rope drag and reducing the number of quick draws I am carrying!

Wild Country Friends are the gold standard if you ask me. They go head to head with BD cams and offer an extendable sling which the former don’t. I like the lobe finish on these cams as it minimizes walking. The trigger action is nice as well. While these aren’t quite as specialized as some other brand cams for aid climbing, for free climbing I’d rock these any day. Can’t go wr...
