Technical Friends are still made in sizes 5 and 6 especially for protecting very large cracks and narrow chimneys.
These extra large sizes are not something you are likely to carry on multipitch remote crags as a general part of your rack. However if you know that you are about to encounter an Elder Crack, a Winking Crack or even a Giggling Crack, then these superb offwidth protection devices reduce the fear factor to a point that it almost feels like cheating (hooray!).
The original, and some would say the best. Revamped Flexi-Friends with longer, stiffened stems and reverse cam strength. A superb product with 3 Sigma Rating meaning that 99.99% of all production passes its strength ratings.
