Product Descriptions
Eastern Mountain Sports Description: Three hooks in one, this body-weight-only piece is designed for use as an artificial aid device. For "big wall" climbs. Covers edges and holes from 3/16 in. (4.8 mm) to 1/2 in. (13 mm). Aids upward progress; NOT strong or stable enough to use as climbing protection. CrMo steel. Weight: 1.7 oz. (48 g).

Backcountry Description: The Black Diamond Talon is three hooks in one. This amazing hooking option is suited for big wallers and those bolting on lead. The Talon's dual-base design provides exceptional stability. Since the rock will often break under pressure of a hook before the hook pops, it's important to maximize hook-to-rock contact area. The tripod design provides optimal hook-to-rock contact. Flat, chiseled points offer exceptional bite in rock. Each blade has a different dimension, offering hook placements from bat-hook (3/16in) size to half-inch. -Vendor

Good for when the going gets tiny

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.
