Wild Country's cams have been a climber's best friend for three and a half decades, and each year Wild Country modifies it to meet the needs of modern climbing. Our favorite part of the latest Friend Camming Device has to be the extendable sling that reduces rope drag on wandering trad climbs. The smooth handling, long-lasting durability, and twin axle design are also what makes this cam our closest Friend.

Great cam and even cooler because it extends
I extend so much. Having the ability to have that already on the cam is a gift.

Super Solid Cam
I feel like I say this in every WC product I review, but these suckers are as light as it gets for a full strength affordable 4-lobe cam. I've never had trouble finding somewhere to place a friend, and they have become a staple on my harness. Could not recommend these enough to anyone who is just getting into trad climbing, or experienced trad climbers looking to try something besides a BD Camelot.

Used for short routes at the crag and for long alpine days. Friend is light, easy to place and remove, and the extendable sling is awesome! The coordination with BD colors/sizes is a nice touch. A solid workhorse/foundational piece for any rack (and at a better price than any other brand).
