Description

WILDCOUNTRY Offset Zero Friend Set: Master the Unprotectable
Unlock the full potential of your climbing rack with the WILDCOUNTRY Offset Zero Friend set, the definitive solution for protecting notoriously difficult and irregular placements. Designed for the discerning trad climber, this set of specialized camming devices transforms flared cracks, pin scars, and non-parallel fissures from desperate cruxes into secure, confidence-inspiring protection points. Where standard cams fail to find purchase and passive protection is insecure, the Offset Zero Friends excel, opening up new possibilities on challenging rock faces.
Unrivaled Security in Flared Placements
The core challenge of trad climbing often lies in finding solid gear in imperfect rock. The WILDCOUNTRY Offset Zero Friend set is engineered specifically to overcome this obstacle. Each unit provides exceptional holding power in placements where the sides of the crack are not parallel. This set is your secret weapon for granite cracks, limestone pockets, and any route with a history of piton use. Think of them as the ultimate evolution of passive protection; they offer the specialized fit of meticulously placed offset Stoppers but with the significant active range, speed, and ease of placement that only a camming device can provide. Add this set to your harness and gain the peace of mind that comes from knowing you can protect the seemingly unprotectable.
Key Features for Precision Performance
*Revolutionary Offset Cam Lobes: The heart of the device, featuring two smaller and two larger lobes on a single axle. This differential allows for a stable, secure fit in flared and unconventional placements where symmetrical cams would be unstable or impossible to place.
*Ultra-Narrow Head Width: Engineered to be exceptionally slim, these cams fit into shallow, narrow, and complex cracks that are inaccessible to wider camming units, dramatically increasing your placement options.
*Highly Flexible Single Stem: The robust yet flexible single stem design ensures the cam stays put. It effectively absorbs the movement of the rope, significantly reducing the chances of the unit “walking” out of its placement, especially on wandering pitches.
*Extendable 10mm Dyneema Sling: A signature feature that offers ultimate versatility. Use the sling in its short, doubled-up configuration for streamlined racking, or extend it to its full length to reduce rope drag on complex routes, minimize gear clutter, and save a quickdraw.
*Ergonomic Floating Trigger Design: The smooth, easy-to-pull trigger bar and comfortable thumb loop allow for precise, one-handed placements even when you´re pumped or in an awkward stance. The design ensures maximum control during placement and retraction.
