With a flexible cable stem and smooth trigger performance, Wild Country® Technical Friends snake into tight placements with speed and ease.

Reprofiled, color-coded cams ensure tangle-free racking on long pitches; constant 13.75° cam angle ensures strong placements
Flexible cable stem with protective nylon sheath balances flexibility and stiffness to allow easier placements without sacrificing control
Increasing cam head widths and consistent spring tension add stability to help reduce walking of cam in or out of cracks and pocket
Color-coded, anodized cams make racking and selection quick and painless; wide expansion ranges extend versatility
Cams are hollowed to reduce weight and lighten your load; smooth-pulling triggers are a cinch to grip and pull and are field-maintainable
CNC machined cams have integrated stops to give passive strength should Friends ''walk'' and the cams fully open
Compact and lightweight 12mm Dyneema® sewn slings are used on all sizes; sling break strength of 14kN
Extended trigger mechanisms add reach; anodized cams improve action and resist corrosion
Immensely strong (85TPSI) single nickel chrome molybdenum steel axles ensure that the stem is free to rotate under load
Cam head width becomes proportionally larger as the cam size increases adding stability
Rugged nylon frame supports the flexible stainless-steel stem, offers directional control and leaves the stem exposed for easy inspection
Each cam includes a Wild Country carabiner; carabiner type and color vary depending on size of cam

Comments about Wild Country Technical Friends Cams:

This came is definitely one that can be trusted for it's use, I put my life on it. I've used other camelots in the past and this one seems to have a shorter life span compared to what other cams are on the market. Either way, great product and reliable gear. Keeping in mind that proper use and inspecting the equipment for normal wear is something that should be done across the board. Excellent buy.

Comments about Wild Country Technical Friends Cams:

I have a set of these and a set of C4's and most of the time I prefer to take the Friends out to play. They are lighter and stronger than the Camalots but also they tent to walk less then any other cam I've used. I think this is in part to the stronger springs the Friend's use. They don't have nearly the range of the C4 and since the springs are stronger the trigger isn't as smooth, so placing them is marginally more difficult. But the bright colors make identifying the size you want a snap when you are loaded down with gear for a long multi-pitch route. Bottom line is that they are the best cam for the price.

I have been using wild country gear for about 4 years now and i have yet to really see its rival. These cams are fantastic. They are lightweight and very durable. They are easy to use as well.
