Friends have changed for only the third time in 33 years!

The new Helium Friend is the strongest and lightest Friend ever, building on the unique heritage of the most inspired, innovative and copide product in climbing. At the head, revised, hot forged cam lobes shed weight but keep all the strength and the famous 13.75 degree camming angle. At the base, a new thumb loop, trigger and sling combine to give a smoother action with more reach.

Features: Hot forged cams, new trigger, new thumb loop, new 12mm dyneema sling, new springs, stainless axle stem cover. Still with 13.75 degree cam angle, single stem, single axle and scaled head width. All units rated at 14kN
