Wild Country Friend

"Do you have the Friends cam, Ray?" The name stuck. Friends are the most iconic cam ever made. Over their 38 years of existence, while the construction has evolved, their essence remains the same. At the heart of every iteration is the definitive 13.75-degree cam angle; described, refined, and developed by Wild Country, proven over thousands of climbing kilometers since 1977. This new cam is no exception; it is built with a dual axle and remains a cam. At its core, our constant 13.75-degree cam angle provides the axis on which future climbers will place their trust. Sturdy and reliable, this cam combines classic features with significant enhancements to create a fascinating blend of old and new. Externally stylish, with distinctive design elements, it draws the eye to a variety of clever upgrades: hollow axles (patent pending) are stiffer and lighter, wide, polished lobes offer better grip while being gentler on the rock, and the new 12 mm Dyneema is agile and easy to extend, saving time and reducing weight since you don't need to use a carabiner for each one. The internal components are based on Wild Country's classic foundations: our legendary holding power and the consistency of overlap between units, while the dual axle has allowed us to increase the range per unit. Available in sizes 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 3, and 4.
