Product Details

Wild Country Friend cams are the most advanced piece on a climber’s rack, designed to place and hold with dependable range overlap while reducing rope drag. The new-gen Friends keep the 13.75° cam angle, hollow double axles, and milled lobes for maximum holding power with minimal walking.

What sets this version apart is the combination of a thumbloop and an extendable cord (up to 20 cm). That extendable Flow Cord uses a seamless core-mantle construction for smooth, resistance-free extension, and it’s built to resist cuts and abrasion with a nylon and UHMWPE outer sheath. There’s also a red wear indicator in the core to signal when the sling is due for replacement—handy when you’re managing a busy rack.

Specs and features

Style #: 40-0000003005

Features

  • Thumbloop + Extendable Cord: combines a thumb loop with the benefits of an extendable sling, up to 20 cm.
  • Extendable Flow Cord technology: seamless core-mantle cord eliminates stiff bartacks for smooth, snag-free extension.
  • Nylon and UHMWPE outer sheath resists cuts and abrasion, while the UHMWPE core provides mechanical strength.
  • Red wear indicator in the core signals when it’s time for sling replacement.
  • 14-years certified lifespan: resists UV, moisture, and freeze-thaw stress (10 years of service life + 4 years of storage).
  • Hollow double axle design: minimizes weight while maximizing cam range for better size overlap.
  • Milled and polished cam lobes: softer, untreated aluminum offers 8–10% more grip than anodized surfaces.
  • Spring-loaded lobes locking system (Size 4): central spring ensures symmetrical cam closure and easy one-handed operation.
