« Item   Item » Wild Country Technical Friends Cams CNC machined cams have integrated stops to give passive strength should Friends ''walk'' and the cams fully open. Cam head width becomes proportionally larger as the cam size increases adding stability. Cams are hollowed to reduce weight and lighten your load; smooth-pulling triggers are a cinch to grip and pull and are field-maintainable. Color-coded, anodized cams make racking and selection quick and painless; wide expansion ranges extend versatility. Compact and lightweight 12mm Dyneema® sewn slings are used on all sizes; sling break strength of 14kN. Extended trigger mechanisms add reach; anodized cams improve action and resist corrosion. Flexible cable stem with protective nylon sheath balances flexibility and stiffness to allow easier placements without sacrificing control. Immensely strong (85TPSI) single nickel chrome molybdenum steel axles ensure that the stem is free to rotate under load. Includes a Wild Wire wire gate carabiner, weighing in at a scant 41 grams; 25 kN strength on major axis with gate closed and a gate clearance of 27mm. Increasing cam head widths and consistent spring tension add stability to help reduce walking of cam in or out of cracks and pockets. Reprofiled, color-coded cams ensure tangle free racking on long pitches; constant 13.75° cam angle ensures strong placements. Rugged nylon frame supports the flexible stainless-steel stem, offers directional control and leaves the stem exposed for easy inspection. With a flexible cable stem and smooth trigger performance, Wild Country® Technical Friends snake into tight placements with speed and ease. More info + price
