Wild Country Zero Friend nut meccanico, 7,5-10,9 mm, argento/grigio

When the crack narrows to a seam barely wide enough for a finger, standard cams are useless—but the Wild Country Zero Friend Mechanical Nut solves that problem. Engineered for micro-cracks and pin scars, this active camming device delivers reliable protection in placements where nothing else fits. With a camming range of 7.5 to 10.9 mm and a closed strength of 5 kN, it’s built to hold when you need it most.

Who is it for

Trad climbers and aid climbers who push into thin, technical terrain. If you’ve ever backed off a route because your smallest cam was too big, this is your answer. It’s also a favourite among big-wall aid climbers who need bomber placements in flaring pin scars and shallow seams.
