Have you got the bag of friends Ray? the name stuck Friends are the most iconic protection ever made.Throughout their 38 year tenure, although the construction has changed, their essence remains the same. At the heart of each iteration has been the definitive 13.75 cam angle; described, refined and developed by Wild Country and proven in thousands of miles of cracks climbed since 1977! This new Friend is no different, built with a twin axle it remains a Friend. At its core Wild Country's 13.75 constant cam angle provides the axis around which future climbers will place their trust.
