The Wild Country Zero Friend is Wild Country's narrowest-headed cam, built for the thinnest cracks, pockets and pin scars. It's for trad and alpine climbers who need solid protection where a standard Friend simply won't fit.

High-friction machined cam faces give real holding power in small placements, a flexible spring-protected stem copes with awkward angles, and an ergonomic floating trigger stays easy to operate even when you're reaching into a shallow slot. Each size comes on a 10mm Dyneema extendable sling with an ergonomic thumb loop, so you can extend the piece without a quickdraw. Sizes run from 0.1 up to 0.75, with strengths up to 9kN. Sold individually.
