VC Pro 2 - The Art of Catching Falling Stars
Re-worked from the very successful VC Pro, the VC Pro 2 has been designed to extend its range of uses to complement the diverse activities of the modern climber - and is more adaptable across a wider range of disciplines.
The new VC Pro 2 with has be re-modelled to give its 'V' grooves even more belaying ‘bite’ to deal with the even thinner cords arriving on the scene. And internally it has also been re-radiused to make a smoother payout on fatter cords - making gym life easier.
But it keeps the same simple organic shape, and ease of use that make this a modern belay device that is truly confidence inspiring. The VC Pro 2's design is based on the principles so effectively demonstrated by the success of the original VC, that any all-around device needs to do the three essentials well: paying out quickly, holding falls securely and abseiling safely.
The VC Pro takes this one step further by doing this brilliantly across a wider more modern range of rope sizes. The VC Pro 2 will deal with single Ropes from 9mm upwards and double ropes from 7.7mm upwards. So from midweek on an indoor wall, to sports climbing, double rope traditional or Alpine here’s a device that’s effective and gives total confidence in one neat package.
Sitting beautifully in the hand the VC Pro 2is easy, forgiving and obvious to use, even for beginners. Experts will also admire its adaptability because like the original VC it can be used in two modes, either ‘slick’ or with more ‘bite’ depending on circumstance and ropes chosen.
As the lightest of its type on the market, fitting a wide range of ropes, with a simple shape, a large keeper loop and a stylish range of colours the VC Pro 2 should be your next best friend and remain by your side for years to come.
Wild Country recommend for the most effective use a smaller round bar HMS (such as the Synergy) yet any screwgate will work well, so the Titan for instance will still be secure if you’re shaving weight.

Wild Country: At the Cutting Edge of Climbing
Wild Country have been at the cutting edge of climbing for 35 years.
Ever since the Friend was invented by U.S. climber Ray Jardine – who found a manufacturer in like-minded British-based enthusiast Mark Vallance – Wild Country have gone from strength to strength by creating the highest-quality rock climbing hardware on the planet.
Born in a tiny factory in the heart of the Peak district in 1977, Wild Country have been building their success on the back of the climbing world’s best Friend – shortly followed by their renowned Rock – ever since.
Their name is now synonymous with hard climbing, with higher safety margins and ease of placement top of their agenda.
Ray Jardine’s simple cam concept had been six years in the making before taking off on BBC’s Tomorrow’s World programme.
Just two years later they launched the Rock, the first ever curved nut which has become what is probably the best-selling piece of climbing equipment of all time.
The success of the Friend and the Rock has turned Wild Country into a legend, revolutionising the climbing world with a host of innovative ideas that have now become the industry standard.
