Why We Like The Wild Country Friend Cam Set #0.4-3
This Friend Cam Set includes every single Wild Country camming device for a complete single trad rack for rock climbing. Given Wild Country was the first company to sell the original camming device, you can rest assured that they've had the longest to research an ideal construction. The 13.75° camming angle is the ideal angle for secure placing and easy cleaning, and the high-friction faces keep the cam positioned exactly how you want it.

Best Friends for life
The Friends cams are fantastic, they come at the recommendation of my friends and a professional climbing guide who told me these are the best trad cams to start your trad rack. I absolutely love them

Absolutely love these cams and the friend series. Love the extendable draw on them, allows for more uses and saves on quick draws!

Classic, reliable, well made
Used regularly for single and multipitch climbing. These cams are great for anyone new or experienced in trad climbing. I loved that the sling could be adjusted even a little bit for extra extension, and the quality is excellent. Make sure when buying you know the best gear for your purposes, as the offset or zero friends could be a better choice. For an all purpose rack, these are my go to. Love using these.

Smooth Action & Extendable Sling
Good solid construction without being too bulky. I really love the extendable sling since sometimes I just need a little extra length, and adding a draw would either be too much, or I just don't want to bring a dozen extra draws up the wall with me.

My Best Friends
These are a fantastic addition to my rack. I like these as an alternative to Black Diamond’s C4 as they are very similar in sizes and come with the added bonus of extendable sling and less weight. The extendable sling is short and do not replace the alpine on my rack but they add a margin of safety by allowing you to extend to avoid a feature that may cause your draw to unclip.

light weight and efective
Easy to place, love how they hang high on your rack but you extend them for placement

Great set of cams. The reason I have chosen these are the ability to extend the base sling if necessary, eliminating a few cases where and extended draw is necessary, allowing for easier use. More versatility than most cams.

Gets the job done
Pros - extendable sling helps with rope drag and walking when your low on draws/slings -reasonably priced - Lighter then BD C4s but not as light as other options. Cons -I found the cam lobes exceptionally difficult to pull back when you are pumped and redlining on at limit climbs -Cam sizes are mildly larger then of other brands in the same colors. All in all a hammer is a hammer and they will get the job done.
