Wild Country Climbing Friend

Have you got the bag of ‘Friends,’ Ray?” Friends remains one of the most revolutionary protection devices ever created, synonymous with climbing history. Over nearly five decades, while technology has progressed, the essence of Friends has stayed true to its origins. At the heart of every model lies the signature 13.75° cam angle, meticulously crafted and tested over thousands of crack climbs since 1977.

The latest Friends embody this legacy with a dual-axle design, hollow axles for added strength and reduced weight, and polished aluminium cam surfaces that enhance friction for extra grip. Their 12mm Dyneema extendable slings, unique to Friends, minimise drag in cracks and reduce the need for extra quickdraws, offering unmatched versatility and space-saving convenience.

Covering sizes from 0.4 to 4, Friends provides reliable protection for almost any crack, setting a market benchmark for stability and dependability. Combining a practical thumb loop with an extendable sling, they remain the only device to offer such ergonomic adaptability. Friends, a timeless classic since 1977, Reflects Wild Country’s rich heritage and dedication to innovation.
