The Wild Country Friend Set 1,2,3 contains one of each size cam. Each is built with a twin axle but remains a Friend. Friends are the only twin axle cam that combines the convenience and comfort of a molded thumb loop with the speed and utility of an extendable sling. At its core the 13.75° constant cam angle provides the axis around which you can place your 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 mean the eye is drawn to any number of clever upgrades: hollow axles are stiffer for less weight; wide, skimmed lobes grip better yet are kinder on the rock; new 12mm 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; the holding power and the consistency of overlap between units, whilst the twin axle has allowed us to increase the range per unit.
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 thumbloop with the speed and utility of an extendable sling.
Faster, smoother, lighter in use and superbly finished; our clever combination of key features with innovative engineering makes the new Friend the most complete cam available.
