Wild Country Friend Set 0.4, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 3 Camming Devices

Traditional climbing protection gets a serious upgrade with this six-piece camming device set from Wild Country. The double-axle lobes deliver an impressive expansion range and dependable holding power in parallel, flared, and irregular cracks, while the flexible steel cable stem conforms to the rock to prevent walking. Each unit features hot-forged aluminium alloy lobes, a 12 mm Dyneema extendable sling, and an ergonomic thumb loop for quick handling even in strenuous positions.

Advantages

The double-axle design covers a broader crack range than single-axle models, so you carry fewer pieces per pitch. The flexible stem reduces leverage on marginal placements, and hollow axles shave weight without compromising strength. The extendable sling cuts rope drag and the need for extra quickdraws, while colour-coded lobes and thumb loops make size identification instant on your harness.

• Traditional climbing on granite, sandstone, limestone, and other rock types
