Wild Country Friend 2026 Set

The Wild Country Friend Set (2026) features the latest generation of the legendary double axle camming device, trusted by trad climbers worldwide. Incorporating new Flow Cord technology, the extendable sling deploys smoothly and snag-free while helping reduce rope drag on longer routes. The proven hollow double axle design delivers an impressive expansion range, while precision-milled cam lobes provide outstanding holding power and stability in placements. Lightweight, durable and highly versatile, the Friend remains an essential piece of climbing protection for trad, multi-pitch and mountain climbing. Available in multiple set configurations to suit every rack.

The Wild Country Friend Set (2026) represents the latest evolution of one of climbing’s most trusted camming devices. Retaining the proven double axle design that has made the Friend a staple on trad racks for decades, this updated version introduces new Flow Cord technology for smoother, snag-free sling extension. The integrated thumb loop and extendable sling system help reduce rope drag and often remove the need for extra quickdraws, making placements more efficient on longer routes. Hollow double axles provide an impressive expansion range while keeping weight low, and precision-milled cam lobes maximise grip and holding power across a wide variety of rock types. With thoughtful updates and the same reliable performance climbers expect, the Friend remains an essential choice for trad, multi-pitch and mountain climbing.
