Good for when the going gets tiny

By Andrew McLean Ranked #62 - Big Wall Climbing March 21, 2010

The three prongs of the Talon not only provide stability, but each point has a different configuration, so you can latch on to small, medium or large rock nubbins. The smallest point is optimized for hooking into 1/4 drilled holes, which is common on Big Walls or with Canyoneering.

Talons are specialized pieces of climbing equipment, but for those who are going into that type of terrain, they work great.
