The Jurassic Verdict

Jurassic think that new design Wild Country Zero Friends 0.1 – 0.3 and Wild Country Zero Friends 0.4 – 0.75 are some of the best small cam devices available on the market. They come in six sizes, ranging from 40.1mm cam down to a very small 8.5mm cam. Their size and power are great, but wait until you get to see their ease of use, it’s superb. They have a flexible cable stem with a recessed cam spring design, and also have a narrow head design, which is optimal for shallow placements. The wide camming range means that you are more likely to manage to make a quick cam placement straight off of your harness. The Wild Country Zero Friends are a fantastic addition to an any Trad climber’s gear rack!
