New Friend

The Friend is the most advanced piece of gear on any climber’s rack. The new generation of cams still feature: the 13.75° cam angle, hollow double axles, and milled lobes for max holding power and minimal walking. The new Flow Cord, with a seamless core-mantle construction, allows smooth, resistance-free extension.The range now features a size 0.3 with double axles and the size 4 integrates a symmetrical spring loaded lobes locking mechanism. The key feature of Wild Country Friend is the combination of thumbloop and extendable cord. This design reduces the need for extra draws, minimizes rope drag, and lessens walking. Thumbloop + Extendable Cord: The signature feature of Wild Country Friends – combining the ease of a thumb loop with the benefits of an extendable sling, up to 20 cm Extendable Flow Cord technology: A new seamless core-mantle cord that eliminates stiff bartacks, enabling smooth and snag-free extension Nylon and UHMWPE outer sheath resists cuts and abrasion, while the UHMWPE core provides mechanical strength Red wear indicator in the core signals when it's time for sling replacement 14-years certified lifespan: Resists UV, moisture, and freeze-thaw stress (10 years of service life + 4 years of storage) Hollow double axle design: Minimizes weight while maximizing cam range for better size overlap Milled and polished cam lobes: Softer, untreated aluminum offers 8–10% more grip than anodized surfaces Spring-loaded lobes locking system (Size 4): Central spring ensures symmetrical cam closure and easy one-handed operation 3 pieces set include Friend #0.4 - #0.5 - #0.75 Size Crack range Head Width Weight 0,3 15,1-21,1mm / 0,59-0,83in 40.4mm / 1.59in 70gr / 2.47oz 0,4 16,9-23,6mm / 0,67-0,93in 40.4mm / 1.59in 75g / 2.65oz 0,5 22-31mm / 0.87-1.22in 46mm / 1.81in 85g / 3oz 0,75 27.5-38.7mm / 1.08-1.52in 50.6mm / 1.99in 100g / 3.53oz 1 33.9-48.1mm / 1.33-1.89in 52.7mm / 2.07in 120g / 4.23oz 2 44.2-62.3mm / 1.74-2.45in 56mm /2.2in 145g / 5.11oz 3 56.2-79.2mm / 2.21-3.12in 58.6mm / 2.31in 175g / 6.17oz 4 71.3-100.8mm / 2.81-3.97in 71.2mm / 2.8in 247g / 8,71oz Strength: Size Active strength extended cord Active strength doubled cord Passive strength extended cord Passive strength doubled cord 0,3 8kN 8kN 8kN 8kN 0,4 9kN 9kN 9kN 9kN 0,5 10kN 12kN 10kN 12kN 0,75 10kN 12kN 10kN 12kN 1 10kN 12kN 10kN 12kN 2 10kN 12kN 10kN 12kN 3 10kN 12kN 10kN 12kN 4 10kN 12kN 10kN 12kN
