DEFINITIVE DESIGN: QUALITY FIRST
WILDCOUNTRY
Anyone can buy 7075 alloy; anyone can pick up a phone and buy some nuts or biners from a whole raft of producers in the Eastern Bloc or the Far East.. and some people do, clogging up the shelves of outdoor stores with their ‘exotic’ new brands… So why choose one brand over another? Why stop to pore over the options in the local store? What makes it worth investing that little bit more in a Wild Country biner or harness? In fact what makes Wild Country so special? The difference is in the quality, the testing, and the rigorous adherence to the highest safety standards – our own, set well beyond the basic Euro norms – which made Wild Country one of the first climbing hardware manufacturers to gain the internationally recognised ISO 9001:2000 status. This is a quality standard, which ensures that from product design, to testing, to traceability, our systems are absolutely rigorous. This system of work is regularly inspected and tested by independent auditors. These inspections make sure what we claim is true, is! So when we say we proof load 100% of incoming biners we really do it. When we say we 100% inspect every harness and sling that passes through our hands, we really do it. Above all this, they make sure that the way we work places safety and quality at the core of everything we do. And this applies whether we make the product in our Peak District factory, or in one of our partners’ plants, either in the UK or abroad. Anyone can pick up a phone; not anyone can know that what they have ordered will be safe, or how to find out if it is. In the end that’s because not everyone has 30 years experience of designing, building and testing some of the most revolutionary and respected products in the outdoor world. Wild Country does.

NOTES AND QUERIES
KARABINERS
2008 KARABINERS + QUICKDRAW RANGE A purposeful range overhaul gives a fuller look to the Wild Country biner selection for 2008 with some important new pieces as well as technical changes making it the ‘must have’ collection. There’s a first step into the miniature arena with the awesome new Xenon Lite, under 30 grams but still really usable. A smooth new Keylock nose makes a cleaner finish for the revised Oxygen krabs, new Titan biners and two superb hot forged screwgates Titan ll and Synergy Lite. Finally the ‘Tadpole’ – a neat rubber ring sewn discretely into the revised express slings that holds the clipping karabiner in place better. This replaces our o-ring and makes our quickdraws neater, more functional and easier to use.
Tadpole detail
Keylock detail
NEW XENON LITE Sometimes less is more. And sometimes more is less. Case in point the awesome new Xenon Lite. Less weight in each biner and each quickdraw means more chance you’ll reach the top. Conversely you could carry more Xenon Lites for the same weight, meaning when the chips are down you may just have the extra clip you need. Either way you win. Features wise, this hot forged mini-marvel has a small neat nose, is hooded to protect the gate and shares the subtle shaping as its big brother. QD comes on 10mm dyneema with our new Tadpole. Sets of Biners / Quickdraws available Features: Our smallest lightest biner, Hooded nose, I beam back, hot forged, Tech-wire gate. PRODUCT

XENON
NEW OXYGEN KEYLOCK
The full size ‘daddy’ Xenon is that mythic ‘great all-rounder’ biner and was designed to be lighter and stronger than most other fullsize biners around. With a narrow wire gate and a skinny hooded nose the Xenon clips smoothly, even in the most awkward of places, racks fantastically and is well protected – giving maximum security with the minimum of fuss and weight. The 2008 Xenon comes in at a lower price. 2008 QD comes with new Tadpole. Sets of Biners / Quickdraws available.
The very successful Oxygen gets a makeover. Lighter, more shapely and with our new Keylock nose, this is great all round biner that keeps a firm re-assuring feel for those who don’t want to go too far down the anorexic wiregate route. Bent gate or straight gate. QD is great for redpoints. 2008 QD is on 12mm dyneema & comes with our new Tadpole. Features: Keylock nose, hot forged, bent and straight gate.
Features: Hooded gate, ‘I’ beam back, hot forged, high gate open strength. PRODUCT PRODUCT

ELITE RANGE
ELITE ADJUSTABLE WOMEN’S
Combining cutting edge with comfort was no easy task but in the Elite range these twin ambitions are married to create truly original harnesses. And with superb sales from day one they prove that style fit and function can be mixed to make even the most jaded take notice of the new kids in town. The original models are supplemented by a new model for 2008 the Ultralite…
A women’s harness should never be simply a re-coloured men’s model. So ours is properly re-shaped and re-sized to make sure that the brilliant ‘Comfortmesh’ foam makes a supportive and figure hugging belt specifically for women. Add in a 25kn belay loop, 10kn accessory points and many more safety features and this becomes a great option for action women across all disciplines: sport climbing, trad climbing or winter.
NEW ELITE ULTRALITE
Features: Ziplock waist buckle + New Ziplock leg loop buckles. Exclusive New ‘Comfort Mesh’ foam belt. ‘Batwing Belt’ shaping. Five gear loops. 25kN Belay loop. New Offset 15kN Haul Loop + ‘Hideaway’ pocket. Single point drop seat. New Mesh carry bag.
With it’s radical shaping, and light weight, the Elite Superlight was created to become our ‘piece de resistance’ for the avid sports climber or traditionalist who really wants to shed the pounds. Designed for movement the Ultralite sports a ‘super-ergo’ belt that’s been carved to allow an unprecedented flex and feel. Add to this a stylish finish that really stands out and you just may be holding the next big thing.

INFINITY ROPES – UK Only
The Infinity Ropes concept came from a challenge set by our mega-experienced climbing team to create a series of ropes which were technically advanced but that were also up to the rigours of ‘top-end’ climbing. This exacting brief was turned in to a design reality by Wild Country MD Martin Atkinson, and drawing on 8 years spent at one of Europe’s biggest rope manufacturers he has created this superb new line. Infinity Ropes feature a number of exciting new developments to make sure that whichever rope you choose and whatever it is put through, you will be using the most tailored and responsive designs on the market today.
NEW SPRINT 9.2mm Shaving weight and saving effort; these two aims are inextricably bound together and with our amazing new sub 60gram per metre rope we’ve done the first to allow you to achieve the second. Thus the new generation of Infinity Ropes starts here, with the Sprint 9.2’s superb combination of weight, handling, feel and flexibility allowing an even more confident approach on your hardest pitches. An already refined outer has been trimmed down further for this cord, making it smooth to pay out and great to clip with. These lighter sheath yarns give a finer feel yet still retaining high degree of durability in this 9.2mm rope. At the same time the re-worked ‘balanced core’ has a lower impact force meaning that if you do take that tumble it won’t feel as bad. Always critical to extreme ascents, the weight of a rope on a long pitch can tip the balance between success and failure – so why not nudge the scales your way and try the slickest Infinity yet.

INFINITY ROPES – UK Only
SPRINT 8.4mm & SPRINT 10mm
ENDURO 10.5mm NON-DRY
These cutting edge ropes are characterised by an improved ‘feel’ and a finer relationship between strength, weight and durability. Lower denier yarns braided on machines with higher carrier count result in a rope that is smoother to handle, more flexible in use, and consequently transmits a lower impact force making a more comfortable fall. Tailored for the expert, and much lighter per metre than the Enduro series their durability holds up well to give ultimate confidence in extreme situations. Sprint ropes are all dry coated.
After the success of our dry treated Super-Enduro we realised there were still a lot of people who wanted this diameter of rope but didn’t necessarily need the water repellency. The new Enduro 10.5 still provides a high-spec rope but for those not seeking such extremes in their climbing it provides better value. Designed to be very hardwearing the Enduro fits the bill for ‘day-cragging’ and indoor use perfectly and with an new 30m length for smaller venues offers extra choice and value. Features: BCC, DCC

ENDURO / SUPER-ENDURO 9.0mm & 10.5mm The Enduro range is specifically constructed to be the hardest wearing rope in its class. This is achieved by using heavier denier yarns and a higher than normal ratio of sheath to core yarns, but importantly without sacrificing handling quality. Their price and performance combined with this extra longevity makes them excellent value for money and a super-reliable product. Super-Enduro ropes are dry treated.
FEATURES USP – UNIQUE SHEATH PLAIT This is the concept which gave Enduro ropes their name! By using a higher than normal percentage of sheath yarns we have created one of the most durable and damage resistant ropes ever built. Combining this with a yarn twist aligned along the axis of the rope for handling we feel that this feature makes for a solid reliable ‘best in class’ rope.

BCC – BALANCED CORE CONCEPT Choosing the right core construction makes a huge amount of difference to rope behaviour. Our yarns are twisted and heat treated in house and then selected to provide a core strand construction specific to each rope diameter. Perfecting this ‘balance’ for all our styles has been testing, but the effect is obvious as we deliver a solid, perfectly round rope which feels and handle great from day one.
www.wildcountry.co.uk
DCC – DURA-CORE CONSTRUCTION A “marine finish” lubricant is applied to the core which changes the way it interacts with the sheath, increasing the dynamic properties of the finished rope as well as significantly aiding longevity. SD – SUPER DRY TREATMENT A wet rope may hold less than 50% of the falls held when dry. Complete immersion of the rope in the hydrophilic, silicone based solution and subsequent heat setting ensures the best possible protection against water absorption. Super dry treatment is an important contributor to rope safety and performance, therefore all Infinity Ropes are offered with the choice of a Super Dry treatment.

DURANGO
Stylish, sporty and technical, Red Chili first women’s specific shoe looks and feels the business. With a neat, light, trimmed down version of the best-selling Spirit last as its base, but adapted to hug the female foot shape better, it fits incredibly well. The triple velcro upper is great for quick on & offs and adjusts easily for a precision fit - even on slim feet - while a the heel is a snug cup that hooks great. Add to this Red Chili’s Impact Zone heel for maximum comfort whilst bouldering or walking off the crag and you have a feature packed winner!
A ‘bargain buy’ bracket design, this is a simple starter shoe that fills the space once occupied by the souped up Sausalito. With a broad toe and medium last the Durango will suit a variety of foot shapes and longer lacing down to the toe means it adjusts easily creating a snug fit. Simply styled with a thick leather upper and 5mm sole, it has a supportive feel to make a solid long lasting shoe. The Durango is confidence inspiring all-rounder with a performance that belies its remarkable comfort. A great starter boot that’s equally at home for all day outdoor or indoor use.
The Lady Spirit VCR is a precision entry into the women’s market that’s sharp enough for the hardcore to wear tight and crank, but relaxed enough for those making their crucial first steps.

NEW DURANGO VCR
SPIRIT
A tweaked version of last years entry level lace up, this VCR version adds an ease of entry and adjustability that should bring in even more fans. A firm, foot friendly shaped last gives a great platform for indoor, outdoor, or all day action and a simple slim heel holds firm too. Add a solid base of Red Chili’s 5mm rubber for long lasting stick and it makes a great package for starting off…
The original Spirit was the fastest selling shoe Red Chili have made and has made the best seller lists in most countries. This new version is a re-work of that original but with a tighter, lower profile toe, more defined arch, skimmed heel and new midsole. Offering a sharper look, feel and sales appeal the new Spirit will climb better and sell faster than its predecessor did in its heyday.
This durable and solid all rounder is the perfect starter shoe and will be equally at home at the wall, outdoor and on multi-pitch routes.

SAUSALITO
SPIRIT IMPACT ZONE LACE
The Sausalito is a Red Chili classic and an excellent shoe for climbers of all levels – giving a stiff edge for those pushing it and a solid platform for beginners. The recent makeover has given the shoe a wider appeal and meant even more performance, while retaining the famous comfort and fit. Technical changes included a flexible rubber toe patch for extra support, longevity and added performance for crack-fans. Also, the two piece heel works better and wraps the heel for a high performance fit. The re-worked Sausalito has been a sure-fire winner and made this big selling shoe a best seller once more.
The success of the Impact Zone shoes has had people asking us to modify the lace up to give that bit more for the multi-pitch environment. So we have. A classic ‘dot’ sole now covers the heel gives to more bite for descents and longer days and creates even more comfort. Added to this is a sharper, tighter upper with a re-profiled toe and extra padding around the heel, completing a slick package.
• Forgiving centre-asymmetric toe shape
A clever overhaul for this all-rounder that simply adds to its performance and all-day potential. A real winner.
• Medium width, low volume last
• New ‘dot’sole under the heel for better grip for descents
• New toe patch for longevity and performance
• New sharper, lower toe profiling
• Fully lined to increase durability and wick perspiration
• Re-worked heel – more padding + tighter

NEW SPIRIT IMPACT ZONE VCR
MESCALITO
A success from day one the Impact Zone VCR has carved a niche as a thoroughbred technical shoe. The tight, focused, toe and Impact Zone comfort of the heel combine to create a shoe built for bouldering and sport but with enough power and support for longer routes. This 2008 model has been neatly tweaked internally to tighten the toe arch and heel, keeping the same shape and style but making it fit even better.
A versatile, performance orientated shoe the Mescalito is designed to perform brilliantly across the widest spectrum of styles. A semi-asymmetric profile supports the toe and combines perfectly with a sculpted, speed –laced upper, to provide a wrap-around feel that fits more feet more easily. Laterally firm but with a responsive flex this shoe will edge with the best but is equally at home smearing on granite or grit.
Stylish, easy to get on and off and technical – without being too intense to wear – the VCR is a winner.
A joy to wear, this stylish lace up is a high calibre all rounder that performs as well as it looks to give a real precision alternative across a range of disciplines.
• Impact Zone heel for comfort and performance
• Easy and fast fitting speed laced upper
• Triple VCR straps for easy and adaptable control

NEW CENTRE – THREADBACK / ZIPLOCK
Welcome to the new generation of Super 10’s: bigger, with a more defined shape and a wider gate opening for easy clipping, as well as being better value, these new Cloggies are difficult to turn down. Also available with the same back but a wire gate to give the perfect range of options.
The Centre has proved extremely popular over the last few years as a basic no-frills introduction to a ‘proper’ tie-in climbing harness. As it’s name suggests, it is ideal as a teaching or group harness especially where the emphasis is on best practice and correct climbing tie-in procedure. For 2008 there are now two versions of this popular model being offered. The original with ‘threadback’ buckles and a new model with Clog’s new ‘ziplock’ style buckles which are always threaded and are simply pulled to tighten.
Features: 10mm bar, lightweight, compact and easy to clip, 12mm dyneema. PRODUCT

NEW CLASSIC – THREADBACK / ZIPLOCK
SCREWGATE KARABINERS – SUPER 10 / 12mm MIDI / 12mm HMS
Like the Centre the Classic is designed as a budget introductory harness with 44mm webbing throughout and large threadback buckles. An ‘over-the-top’ clip in point means this is a great group or centre product for quick changeovers using a screwgate while its ‘nappy’ style means it is adaptable as a winter walking/mountaineering product. For 2008 there are now two versions of this popular model being offered. The original with ‘threadback’ buckles and a new model with Clog’s new ‘ziplock’ style buckles which are always threaded and are simply pulled to tighten. Both models also come with a single gear loop for this season.
Re-worked in 2006 the Super 10 Screw offers a bigger unit for the same price making it a great buy. The bestselling Midi Screw is made from 12mm bar and gives a superb value option at an in between size. Perfect as a belay biner alongside the Clog Flyer or other devices. Finally there’s the classic Clog 12mm HMS, a round bar biner perfect for all mountain situations.’ PRODUCT

These procedures are an integral part of our Quality Assurance System. From the data obtained from destruction testing, the average (or mean) and sample standard deviation (which is a measure of variance based upon the results obtained) is calculated. 3õ is three times the sample standard deviation. When 3õ is deducted from the mean result obtained, we can predict the spread of results which would be obtained if we were to destroy the entire batch (which is why we sample only!). We monitor this data closely from batch to batch to ensure that the rated strength (as marked on the product) is always less than the mean minus three times the sample standard deviation. This ensures that the minimum breaking strength for all products is consistently higher than the rated strength as marked on the product.

The Three Sigma Rating system is a method of Statistical Quality Control (SQC) which we use to describe, analyse, and control the rated strengths of our products. For each batch produced, a statistically representative sample is taken and tested to destruction in accordance with the relevant European Standard for that product and/or our own approved internal Quality Assurance Procedures.

UIAA SAFETY LABEL The UIAA Safety Label can be awarded for mountaineering and climbing equipment that meets the requirements of the relevant UIAA standard. In order to prevent unnecessary multiplicity of standards, the UIAA standards are based on the European standards (EN standards, also called CEN standards). The EN standards, in turn, are based on the former UIAA standards, which were the first standards for mountaineering and climbing equipment in the world. The present UIAA standards may have higher and/or additional requirements above those in the EN standards.
