That’s why Wild Country stays true to its founding ethos and is resolutely a ‘climbing company, run by climbers for climbers’. We’ve been this way for thirty plus years and will not change. Our customers are our climbing partners. And we’re lucky – we have climbing partners all around the globe. Clarity of thought. Simplicity of execution. Definitive design. This is the mantra that shuts out the noise and guides our tight, focused range. It drives us to produce the ever lighter, more functional, technical equipment that the modern climber deserves. We are proud to give our climbing partners the very best gear available in the world today. We listen: to climbers, to shops, to importers, to all our partners; so that when we expand our range, it’s worth taking note, it’s for a reason, and when we revise our range these revisions are not devised as flab or bulk but to trim, sharpen and refine.

HELMETS

HELMETS Modern climbing is all about movement, on rock, on ice or both, and across the seasons; adapting skills to surroundings and circumstances to make the most of changing conditions. And that’s why last year Wild Country brought out the first helmet that could truly claim to do the same, the Alpine Shield with its modular two in one system, which has been a great success. So this year we’ve arrived with its pared down cousin, the Rock Lite; light with new colours a new look but the same careful and well thought out approach it’s the perfect ‘cragging’ lid.

NEW ROCK LITE HELMET

ALPINE SHIELD HELMET The awesome Alpine Shield takes an innovative and stylish approach to creating the ultimate in adaptability and the perfect ‘year round’ helmet. This modular design adopts a ‘two-in-one’ approach, combining a lightweight, in-mould EPS/Polycarbonate helmet with an exclusive ‘Alpine Shield’ cover that can be quickly attached to give enhanced protection. Rock Lite Helmet

The essence of the Rock Lite is as a pared down rock climbers helmet that hits the market at an impressively light weight. With a pedigree borne of our research and development from last year’s hot model, the Alpine Shield, it’s stylish and strong and aimed at those with a pure rock agenda who want to climb clean, light and clear.

Worn uncovered, this helmet is perfect for all round cragging; supremely light and with an optimal fit via quick-click volume adjustment, soft EVA pads and a super secure, quick release chin strap. Worn covered, by adding the bonus Alpine Shield shell – providing extra stone and icefall protection – it goes further than any other helmet of its type can go. Meaning this fully featured model becomes a true winter lid and one of the lightest choices around.

Thus the Rock Lite is a slimline in-mould EPS model, perfect for all round cragging, which has an optimal fit via quick-click volume adjustment, soft EVA pads and a super secure, quick release chin strap. Well vented for summer, abroad or at home, and with two stylish colour choices it also comes with neat touches like reflective patches for high visibility by headtorch – great for those early starts.

Simple to switch around, easy to fit and wear, the Alpine Shield is the first helmet with this modular capability – so from gritstone games to winter workouts it converts from best in class to a class of its own.

Bonus: the Rock Lite exclusively retains the three screw fittings that would allow for placement of ‘The Shield’ polycarbonate cover as used on the Alpine Shield helmet – meaning if your agenda changes, your helmet can too. And with the enhanced stonefall protection The Shield gives, the horizons widen!!

Features: Lightweight best in class EPS/Polycarb helmet, Exclusive free extra ‘Alpine Shield’ polycarbonate cover (enhanced stonefall protection with cover), Simple ‘coin-slot’ alpine shield adjustment, Quik-Clik- glove friendly adjustable sizing, Adjustable EVA cushioned, head hugging inner pads, Nexus Acetal (better in low temp) quick release chin strap buckle, Smooth 16mm nylon chin strap, 4 Torch grips (acetal – better in low temps), Hood friendly sizing for winter wear, 3 Stylish colour choices, Emergency inner sticker, Free storage bag, One size.

LOCKING KARABINERS

360 HELMET

INTRODUCTION

Durable, stylish and super safe the 360 is an exceptional polycarbonate helmet built with style and the safety credentials to blow the opposition away.

An expanded and expansive range of karabiners gives a screwgate or autolock for each and every occasion, from runners, to belay, to instruction. New for 2010 are our Ion, two new Synergys and a re-worked Titan – and importantly all of our screwgates are now Keylock giving easier access and better rope clipping at all times. 360 Helmet

Created to act as a cross-season all rounder the 360 is a reliable and fully featured model that will be at home on first forays out to longer expeditions away. Built with safety in mind the 360’s testing pedigree is its strength. Optimal shaping, optimal material use and top impact resistance mean great test results, including a best in class side impact result. This is due to Wild Country’s decision to use more EPS than other helmets and to extend the EPS further down the sides and back of the lid. This makes impacts from a swinging fall safer, adding more plusses to an already secure design.

NEON KEYLOCK SCREWGATE

However, this strength is not a sacrifice to weight or fit and the 360 remains a lightweight choice. Internally, it adjusts via a glove friendly ‘dial-system’, cinches and releases simply and sits comfortably on adjustable, cushioned EVA pads.

Features: Hyperlight, I Beam back, High strength thimble, Hot forged, High gate open strength.

No ifs no buts, and no way to ignore this, the Neon screw is one of the worlds lightest Screwgates and finally makes a screwgate close to being as light as many modern snaps. Achieved using a combination of the proven I beam technology and a little lateral thinking, the Neon Screwgate gives safety a boost allowing more screwgates to be carried without a weight penalty. Add to this a smooth Keylock nose and a usable gate clearance, it makes clipping and unclipping no toil – even with gloves. And as with all the Wild Country screws the Neon’s screwgate is strong enough to resist inward pressure as well adding an extra safety dimension. An amazing step forward and a true weight breakthrough, the Neon screw finally ditches the penalty of weight from a screwgate – and with its keylock nose it makes for safer climbing with no catch!!

Product Code: 13NEONSG.

A safety conscious go anywhere, do anything, all rounder with a strong sense of style, an excellent fit and a price tag that protects the wallet; the 360 redefines polycarbonate performance.

Our code name for this biner was ‘Neon Big’ and the Ion is exactly that – a bigger version of our mega-successful, hyperlight, Keylock screwgate biner, The Ion is based on the same design but simply ‘scaled-up’ to give a bit more space creating a more all round biner. Yet by only adding 7 grams there’s a minimal penalty for the extra room and the Ion stays in that hyperlight category. Strong, shapely and neat in the hand its Keylock nose guarantees an easy clip or strip and our high strength thimble provides a bonus safety boost.

The new size 1 comes in three colours Red, White and Lilac. Features (both models): Lightweight best in class Polycarb/Eps helmet, Quik-Dial glove friendly adjustable sizing, Adjustable EVA cushioned, head hugging inner pads, Nexus Acetal (better in low temp) quick release chin strap buckle, Smooth 16mm nylon chin strap, 4 Torch grips (acetal – better in low temps), Hood friendly sizing for winter wear, 3 Stylish colour choices, Emergency inner sticker, Free storage bag.

NEW TITAN KEYLOCK SCREWGATE

The rounded top stays suitable for Munter hitch if needed and the weight comes down to make it an even more attractive package. For extra security the super-safe 7075 Alloy thimble resists gate inward loading.

Making this easy clipper even smoother and enhancing it’s all around status as the best basic biner available, the original Titan gets a Keylock nose.

NITRO TECHWIRE The Helium is an exceptional biner... everyone tells us so! It feels great in the hand, clips superbly, and is still the world’s lightest true full size biner. In fact maybe the only criticism is that it’s incredible patented ‘no-hook’ nose makes its production an expensive business. So the Nitro is a solution to that, it’s a Helium with a skinny hooded nose that’s easier to produce and comes at a way better price! So you do the math... an easy clipping, full size, great handling biner at an awesome price – equals a bargain just waiting to be snapped up. QD comes on 10mm dyneema with Tadpole.

So with girls and boys models - both appropriately scaled – you can rely on Wild Country quality and safety to provide the perfect start so your juniors can concentrate on scaling their mini mountains. Simple things like Ziplock buckles on legs and waist mean the buckles won’t be left undone while two gear loops allow seconding or first leads to be undertaken.

An effective package designed to go the distance in summer and winter whether starting off or in it for the long haul.

These super cool new rigs aim to make sure that our kids don’t start at a disadvantage with a harness that feels like a torture device but can enjoy their first (or later) forays outdoor and inside.

Light, lithe and very, very popular the men’s model obviously keeps all the great features which made it such a success: a great fit, plenty of gear loops and high strength, safety add ons.

CLASSIC ZIPLOCK HARNESS

ZEROS

A proven design, the Wild country Classic is a starter, gym or group harness that’s hard to better. Its ‘over the top’ tie in point allows quick and easy clipping in and unclipping either using a traditional knot or a screwgate and its amazingly wide adjustability fits almost anyone. The Ziplock buckles on the legs and waist are easy to adjust and give a ‘neverundone’ security that breeds confidence.

A miniature miracle of modern engineering, and still getting great reviews as well as gasps of astonishment, the range and usefulness of Zeros has to be seen and experienced to be believed. From the diminutive Zero 1 – still the smallest cam ever made – upwards, the many unique features of Zeros combine with their unrivalled flexibility to make sure they are a keystone of Wild Country's range. The longer stem of sizes 3-6 makes them easier to place and remove than many rival cams and the large trigger ensures even gloved use while aiding is no problem.

ROCKS

SUPERLIGHT ROCKS

Wild Country were the inventors of the ‘Rock’, the first curved nut, and the nut which revolutionised protection. So it’s certainly worth noting when we say that the current fully featured Rocks range are the new benchmark units for the modern climber.

Superlights are now known as essential kit – and maybe should be called Superlative Rocks due to the plaudits heaped on them from reviewers from every corner of the globe. Slim, light, flexible, and supremely fiddleable in tight spots, these single wired beauties seem to push all the buttons as the perfect tool to complete any serious rack.

Although not light years from the original design the 21st century rocks are lighter, while still being solid and durable and have been refined for all seasons and all circumstances. These latest Rocks, due to our recently introduced big rocks, have the biggest range of any units available, remain one of the lightest nuts per size and have an enviable list of features. So, from colour co-ordination to side tapers and top quality materials our quality standards and 3 Sigma testing mean that the worlds original curved nuts, Rocks, easily keep their place in the pantheon of ‘must-have’ gear. Sets available 1-8, 9-14. Features: Tapered sides, Anodised Colour Coding, Lighter Thinner Sidewalls, Fourteen Sizes. PRODUCT

MINI ROCKS

VC PRO 2

Small and really useful in extremis, the Mini Rocks combine a neat, precise shape with a positive fit. Flat sided due to their size, they are engineered to make the most out of very little metal. Neat touches include a ‘sunken-wire’ head which provides protection and strength where the wire’s at its weakest and fine rumbling which gives a super smooth finish. Four sizes all below a Rock 1 wide give a range of placement options.

With an easy, organic shape and intuitive feel the VC Pro 2 has been a success since its launch and is recognised as one of the leaders on thin ropes. And it has two great attributes to make it so: Firstly it has a smooth finish for fatter cords with a flattened out bottom, which keeps the biner a bit further away and decreases grab. Secondly to give even more bite on ever-decreasing diameter skinny ropes, the V slots are deep, accepting even the thinnest ropes to give a firmer grip.

ROCKCENTRICS

VC – VARIABLE CONTROLLER

A eureka moment and the Rockcentric was born. Combining the best ideas behind the clunky old hexentric with modern shaping and materials might not seem like genius but ask the hordes of climbers who’ve been snapping them up since day one and they’d probably disagree. Brilliantly light, with a range of placement options that make them so easy to use and a flexible dyneema sling that helps keep ‘em firmly wedged once placed. Set 3-7 available.

With slightly widened slots for give extra performance on single ropes the VC is a less specialised tool to complement the arrival of the VC Pro 2. This gives it an all round appeal and means it works better for sports and gyms as well as still being a reliable partner for traditional double rope technique and abseiling. Set with Synergy HMS Screwgate available.

Features: 14kn Dyneema sling, 4 Placement options, Side tapers, Lightweight, Great for winter. PRODUCT

ROPEMAN 1 & 2

10mm DYNEEMA

Best sellers from day one, the Ropeman 1 and 2 have become the ubiquitous tools for a wide range of mountaineering and cragging activities. From prussiking to pulleys and mouflage the list of uses and adaptations for these small but perfectly formed devices goes on and on.

The amazingly light and brilliantly flexible 10mm Dyneema slings are now our best selling width – and provide the ‘cutting edge’ to any rack where weight is at premium. Weighing in at only 16gms a metre but still with 22kn 3 Sigma rated breaking strain it’s obvious we’re looking at the lightweight champion.

Note: The Ropeman 1 features an alloy cam and is for 10 to 11mm ropes only while the Ropeman II has a more refined stainless steel cam which operates better on thinner ropes down to 8.5mm. PRODUCT

12mm DYNEEMA

SRC – SINGLE ROPE CONTROLLER

Hailed as radical when Wild Country first developed 12mm Dyneema, this has now become the benchmark in slings. 12mm Dyneema gives a great ratio of longevity to weight to performance, but without compromising confidence.

The Single Rope Controller is Wild Country’s super safe belay device which works like an ‘auto-lock’ but with a very important difference – it has a much more dynamic action leading to a lower impact force and a much softer fall. The key here is that this puts less strain on the device, the belayer and, most of all, the falling climber. Simple to use and very fast paying out in a redpoint situation it’s also a great device for safe starting out – top roping and for first leads.

10mm DYNEEMA CORDELETTE

PRO-KEY

This huge and hugely useful sling makes perfect use of 10mm Dyneema: compact enough to carry easily, the Cordelette is the simplest way of safely equalising any belay. Ideal for all mountain environments. Comes with instructions and with bonus mesh carry bag.

In stainless steel, tough, durable and very practical the smartly designed Pro-Key has been a big hit. A wire gate means a direct clip to the harness, while a folded top gives a bigger surface area to allow a firmer (less painful) push with the palm and large holes keep the weight down. And finally, the tip of the Pro-Key is precision ground to give it the most accurate nose for removal even in tiny slots.

RED CHILI

MATADOR VCR

MESCALITO

The Matador is Red Chili’s hottest shoe, capturing perfectly the essence of modern sports climbing and bouldering in an authentic precision package.

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.

Our ‘perfect shoe’, the Matador was designed for, and refined by, some of Europe's top climbers - including the awesome Andreas Bindhammer. Technically, a super-tensioned, toe down, lo-stretch synthetic upper forces the foot forward giving peerless purchase even at extreme angles. At the same time triple VCR strapping keeps the foot perfectly anchored – while allowing quick and easy adjustment – and underfoot a sensitive midsole gives amazing feedback without sacrificing power. Add in extended, profiled arch rubber for awesome scummin’, a great heel cup plus bonus toe rubber and here’s a shoe with more traction than ever before.

Re-worked for 2009 the Mescalito has been sharpened at the toe to give more pocket power, while the upper has been reinforced to give a real precision alternative across a range of disciplines.

A design masterpiece, the Matador is Red Chili’s most advanced shoe and the most precise and powerful VCR shoe around.

• New ‘ultra-cup’ heel.

• Toe down design for power.

• Twin rear pull on tabs.

• New Synthetic upper for lower stretch.

• Super sticky 4.2mm RX1 Red Chili rubber.

• Triple VCR straps for control.

• Sizes UK 3 to 12 / US 4 to 13. • Colour: Orange / Black

• Easy and fast fitting speed laced upper. • Low profile semi-asymmetric toe. • Graduated midsole – firm but responsive.

• Super sharp toe profile. • Super cool new designer upper.

Impact Zone – Red Chili’s exclusive and innovative Impact Zone is a subtle, bonus layer of impact absorbing foam hidden in the heel of the shoe to give a cushioned landing. So for bouldering indoors & out or just walking off the crag it’s proved to be a mighty popular way of having a more comfortable day out without sacrificing performance.

NEW CORONA VCR

NEW SPIRIT IMPACT ZONE VCR

Sharpened up, more stylish and with a touch more bite, the Corona’s tried and tested fit and function are only improved by a slick re-make for this distinctive and hardcore VCR.

An advanced all rounder, for the more technical climber or boulderer, the Spirit Impact Zone VCR has been re-worked - adding to the style, substance and versatility of this best selling shoe.

Performance is the key to this shoe and featuring a sharp low-profile toe, a killer slingshot heel and bonus toe rubber for super-tech hooking, it’s obvious that it performs! For 2010 the midsole is tweaked to give even more sensitivity and feedback while our double VCR straps add in easy ‘on and offs’ between boulder sends, redpoints, or on belay. A smart new graphic simply enhances this great package.

Subtly improved and enhanced internally, the VCR also gets a stylish external makeover and has a big ‘wow’ factor in its new format. Technically, it keeps a tight, focused toe and foot hugging fit. And with improved triple VCR strapping as well as a firm midsole it has the power and support for bouldering and a wide variety of routes.

• Colour: Black / Red

A thoroughbred technical shoe with a strong shelf appeal, the VCR continues to produce a pedigree performance across such a wide range of climbing styles that it’s hard to beat.

A proven product, the Corona VCR wears with a fit, function and performance that really works.

• Impact Zone heel for comfort and performance.

• VCR straps for easy adjustment.

• Triple VCR straps for easy and adaptable control.

• Sharp asymmetric low profile toe.

• New sharper, lower toe profiling.

With a neat, light, trimmed down version of the best-selling Spirit last as its base and adapted to fit the female foot shape better – this looks a real winner. On top our triple velcro upper is great for quick on & offs and adjusts well for a precision fit – even on slim feet – while the heel cup has a refined fit that hooks great.

Happy grinding out the vertical (kilo)metres but sick of wearing out your shoes in no time at all? Is the rock gym hotter than the sauna next door? Want a shoe tough enough to go the distance that climbs better than a lumberjack's boot? Got to look cool too? You need the Urban Climber... The first Chili shoe to aim indoors the UC sports a burly build, seals the deal with a double toe rand to reinforce the most valuable workspace and adds perforated leather to let off steam(!) giving the sole less roll! The styling new look and killer fit are topped off with cool, core, Chili features like wide twin VCR straps, true slingshot heel and RX1 rubber. Technical enough to send hard while taking the punishment of endless training laps the UC’s for you, the hardcore inside dweller, the winter warrior, AKA the Urban Climber.

A precision entry into the women’s market that’s sharp enough for the hardcore if worn tight but relaxed enough to take first steps in if fitted flat. • Specifically designed for a women’s foot. • Impact Zone heel for comfort with performance. • Triple VCR straps for easy adaptable control. • Cool colorway. • Neat sharp low profile toe. • Red Chili 4.2mm RX1 rubber. • Sizes UK 2 to 8 / US 3 to 9. • Colour: Yellow/Blue

SAUSALITO

The fastest selling shoe Red Chili ever made and ever present since its inception 5 years ago it has precise, glove like fit, low profile toe, defined arch and snug heel. And with long ‘to the toe’ lacing the Spirit just wraps the foot superbly giving a feel and feedback that’s hard to beat.

The Sausalito is a great shoe 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.

RED CHILI

NEW DURANGO

SPLASHDOWN BOULDER MAT

A great value 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.

Bigger, deeper, wider and more comfortable than most... the inimitably styled Red Chili mat is one of the beefiest on the market and has carved itself a niche with a combination of performance and price that’s hard to beat. Re-assuringly thick, it has up to 1/3 more dual density foam making for a soft landing on even the biggest drops. And as ever with Chili there’s a distinctive style to our gear and so our big Chili logo print makes it just that bit more ‘standout’ in the crowded world of boulder mats.

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.

Features: Dual density foam, New easy-clip metal buckles, Removable ‘rucsac’ style harness.

• Full length toe lacing for maximum adjustment.

Size: 120cm x 90cm x 12cm. Weight 4.5 kg.

• Easy fit, broad, centre asymmetric last.

Product Codes: Splash Logo: 48RCPADSPL

• Relaxed full rubber heel for comfortable support. • Twin rear pull on tabs. • Super sticky long lasting 5mm RX1 Red Chili rubber. • Sizes UK 3 to 12 / US 4 to 13. • Colour: Blue Product Codes: 50DUR03 – 50DUR12 Durango

NEW DURANGO VCR Cool, clean and very adaptable the Durango VCR is a great all rounder and by using a VCR entry it gives an excellent alternative to its lace up twin. Totally revamped, it features wider more supportive VCR straps, which, clamping the foot better allow the firm platform below to be exploited to the max over a wide variety of styles. Like the lace up it has a broader toe and medium last accepting a wide range of feet yet still retains an edge for more delicate and precise action. A durable and solid all rounder the VCR is at home anywhere you are and makes a perfect shoe for moving through the grades indoors, outdoors or bouldering. • Double VCR straps for easy adaptable control. • Easy all round last shape. • Perfect starter shoe. • Red Chili 5mm RX1 rubber.

Splashdown Pad – Logo Product Code: 48RCDPADSPL

STANDARDS Wild Country's Tom Cain sets off on Wind HVS 5B, Clogwyn Y Grochan, Llanberis, Wales. Photo: Dave Simmonite

3~ 0THREE SIGMA 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. 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.

ISO9OO1:2000 QUALITY ASSURED FIRM Wild Country is registered to International Standard ISO 9001: 2000 (Certificate No. C/7545.Q/2678). This is the internationally-accepted model for Quality Assurance Management Systems, which has been adopted in over 150 countries worldwide.

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.
