"Do you have the Friends cam, Ray?" The name stuck. Friends are the most iconic protection ever made. While their construction has evolved over their 38-year history, 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, which has proven itself in thousands of climbing cracks since 1977. This new Friend is no exception; it is built with a dual axle and remains a Friend. At its core, our constant 13.75-degree cam angle provides the axis on which future climbers will place their trust. Robust and reliable, this Friend combines classic features with significant innovations to create a fascinating blend of old and new. Externally stylish, with distinctive design accents, the eye is drawn to a variety of clever upgrades: hollow axles (patent pending) are stiffer and lighter, wide, polished lobes grip better and are gentler on the rock, and the new 12 mm Dyneema is agile and easy to extend, saving time and reducing weight since no carabiner is needed for each Friend. The internal components are based on the classic foundations of Wild Country: 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.
