Hitting the stores early in the UK and USA (and making great Xmas presents by the way!!) the first of Wild Country's 2012 offerings, Big Friends, are set to be big news and big sellers.

Who's the daddy?? The new Friends 6 is the most stable and secure big unit on the market...

The Big Friends consists of Friends 5 and 6 and take the overall range of the Friends offered by Wild Country - starting with Zero Friends and thru Helium Friends - from a miniscule 5.5mm to a whopping 197mm - the largest range offered by a single manufacturer.

In the news currently as the WideBoyz, Wild Country's awesome crack team, devour the states' wide cracks the Friends 5 and 6 are solid, reliable and certainly very well tested...!!

As Tom Randall says,

"One of the best things about the large Friends (5 & 6) is that they're wide enough to create a really stable base. This is massively important when using them tipped out - I'd happily trust a big friend all the way to its limit."
 
"There's no other big camming device on the market that inspires as much confidence when upside down in a 5.14 offwidth and the the action on the larger friends is always reassuring smooth, so you know you can concentrate 100% on the climbing"
