Description

Talon Scout is one of Eagle Bluffs best 5.12 routes, with its steep, powerful, non-crystal crimping crux, it is one to have on the Clifton climber's circuit.

Location

This route is to the left of Adverse Reaction (a line of cold shuts up a somewhat dirty looking orange scoop/face, which is left of Punks in the Gunks.

Protection

Bolts and tiny cams. I pulled the two pitons from the top of this route. Take a single rack of cams from 000 c3 to .3 and you'll be good.
