Friends Cam - Wild Country

"Do you have the 'Friends' bag?" Ray?" the name remained...

The Friends are the most iconic protection ever created. Throughout their 38-year tenure, although the construction has changed, their essence remains the same. At the heart of each iteration was the definitive cam angle of 13.75. Described, refined, and developed by Wild Country and proven in thousands of miles of cracks climbed since 1977! This new Friends is no different, built with a double axle, it remains a Friends. At its core, our constant cam angle of 13.75 provides the axis around which future climbers will place their trust.

Robust and reliable, this Friends combines classic features and significant additions to create an intriguing blend of old and new. Externally sleek with an important design means the eye is drawn to a number of clever enhancements: The hollow axles (patented) are stiffer for less weight The wide and skimmed lobes adhere better but are kinder on the rock The new 12mm Dyneema is agile and easily extendable, saving time and the weight of having to use a quickdraw on each. The internal components are based on the classic foundations of Wild Country: our legendary holding power and the consistency of overlap between units, while the double axle has allowed us to increase the range per unit. Available in sizes 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 3, and 4
