The best friends in the world are reliable, trustworthy, and easy to have around, all of which fall under the umbrella of the Wild Country Friend Camming Devices. The Friend was the first cam ever made and is one that rock climbers have used and trusted for years. Using the original 13.75° camming angle combined with a single stem, double-axle design, the Friends have a massive placement range, giving you more options when you're redlining at the crux. Sandstone climbers can rejoice thanks to the wide, hot-forged aluminum lobes that offer more contact area with the rock, providing more secure placements in a sleek design that is easier on the rock. Topped off with an extendable Dyneema sling and hollow axles that reduce weight for those yearly alpine missions, these are the kind of friends that would help you move into a new apartment, drive you to the doctor, or remodel your house, that is, if they had arms.
