"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I reach for this Friend Set 0. 4/0. 5/0. 75 on nearly every pitch. These sizes see the most action, and the polished lobes bite well on both granite and sandstone. The extendable slings save me extra draws on wandering lines, and the weight is low enough that I don’t think twice about doubling up.""When we’re heading for thin splitters, corner systems, or mixed-width crack climbs, the Wild Country Friend Set 0. 4/0. 5/0. 75 gives us the precise coverage we need. These small cams carry forward the original Friend’s proven 13. 75° cam angle while adopting modern upgrades that refine the feel and reliability of each placement. The lobes seat cleanly in shallow constrictions, and the smooth action encourages confident use in delicate stances. As pitches twist and trend, the hollow axles and extendable Dyneema slings help keep our rack light and our ropes running clean. The polished aluminum lobes improve friction across varied rock types, increasing trust when loading smaller pieces in parallel cracks or flared seams. With dependable expansion ranges and intuitive handling, this set supports us on everything from long ridge traverses to single-pitch days where precision matters."
