"The Wild Country Friend Set gets a meaningful update this generation with the new Flow Cord sling: a seamless core-mantle construction that replaces the stiff bartacks of previous versions for smooth, snag-free extension when a placement needs to be lengthened mid-route.

They shave weight without sacrificing the strength that matters when a placement is all that stands between a climber and the deck."""
