FAQs

What sizes are included in the Wild Country Rock Set 11-14?

This set includes Wild Country Rock protection pieces in sizes 11, 12, 13, and 14.

Are these cams suitable for all types of cracks?

The tapered design makes them versatile, but they are best suited for cracks where the cam can achieve parallel or slightly constricting placements. Always assess the rock quality and crack shape.

How should I maintain my Wild Country Rock Set?

Clean off dirt and debris after use, store in a dry place, and inspect regularly for wear. Avoid exposing them to corrosive substances.

Can I replace individual pieces if they get damaged?

Individual Wild Country Rock pieces can often be purchased separately to replace damaged items, allowing you to maintain a complete set.

What is the primary benefit of the anodised colour coding?

The anodised colour coding allows for quick and easy identification of each cam size, which is crucial for efficient and safe climbing.

Are these cams lighter than other brands?

The product description notes 'lighter, thinner sidewalls', suggesting they are designed to be lighter and less bulky compared to some other protection options.

Troubleshooting

Cam lobes feel stiff or sticky.

Clean the cam mechanism thoroughly with a mild cleaning solution and a brush. Lubricate sparingly with a dry lubricant designed for climbing gear if necessary, ensuring no residue remains on the lobes.

Placement feels insecure.

Re-evaluate the crack geometry. Ensure the cam is placed in a constriction or a parallel-sided section where possible. Check for any obstructions or loose rock around the placement.

Colour coding is difficult to see.

Clean the anodised surfaces with a damp cloth. If the anodising is significantly worn, rely more on visual inspection of the cam size markings.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and easy to rack.
  • Colour coding aids in quick selection.
  • Tapered design offers versatile placement options.
  • Durable construction for longevity.

Cons

  • Limited to sizes 11-14, requiring additional sets for a full rack.
  • Thinner sidewalls may require careful placement in very flaring cracks.
  • Anodising can show wear over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Wild Country Rock Set 11-14 is ready for immediate use out of the box. Ensure each piece is properly clipped into a carabiner via its original sling before placing it in a crack. Always inspect the sling and carabiner for wear before each use.

Compatibility: These protection pieces are designed to be used with standard climbing carabiners and ropes. They are intended for placement in rock cracks and features suitable for passive or active protection.

Care: After each use, clean any dirt or debris from the cam lobes and spring mechanism. Store the set in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Periodically inspect the slings, carabiner attachment points, and cam lobes for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. If significant wear is observed, the piece should be retired.
