Why We Like The Zero Friend Cam
Wild Country's Friend has been a comrade to trad climbers since 1977. Now lighter than ever, the newer Zero Friend Cam joins our rack for when we encounter those shallower placements on routes that were once thought unclimbable. With a narrow head, these devices fit into thinner cracks, pockets, and even pin scars.
