Why We Like The Zero Friend Cam
The Zero Friend Cam from Wild Country is a must-have companion for trad climbers. With a legacy dating back to 1977, this updated version of the iconic Friend Cam is now even lighter than before. It is the perfect addition to your rack when facing those challenging routes with shallower placements that were once considered impossible to climb. Thanks to its narrow head, the Zero Friend Cam easily fits into thinner cracks, pockets, and pin scars, opening up a whole new range of possibilities.
