I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Description

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.

Details

  • The Zero Friend Cam is an original camming device designed specifically for modern trad climbing.
  • Featuring high-friction machined cam faces, it provides exceptional grip and security.
  • The double axle design enhances its expansion ability, ensuring a solid placement.
  • The extendable sling allows for deeper placements, giving you more flexibility.
  • With a single stem equipped with armored metal plates, the Zero Friend Cam offers a stiff flex, enhancing its overall performance.
  • Thanks to its ergonomic thumb loop, this cam provides added stability and comfort during use.
