Talon Hook - BLACK DIAMOND

You’re not climbing too many C1s before you’ll need this. Instead of drilling entire bolts, or even just rivets, some first ascentionists drilled a short hole at a downward angle and this talon fits like a glove inside that very hard to find hole. Having 3 different sizes built in, this can grab many different hook placements and feels stable because of the talon shape. I always carry 1 on me unless I’m doing a lot of hooking then I’d carry two.
