anyone here done the poison flower? Is it worth doing or should we let it fade into obscurity? Beta, photos, opinions?

Thanks
Joe

Hey Joe. Ive climbed a lot in Blodgett but never did Poison Flower. Ive heard from friends that's its a great route. Little gear for the crux but otherwise a stellar climb at the grade.

Thanks Josh. A couple times now I have had attempts on the South Face of Flathead get derailed and ended up on Shoshone instead. This spring we did the 10 on the far right and the first pitch of Poison Flower which was awesome. Hoping to do Flathead and the Poison Flower this fall.

Thanks for the encouragement.

I've done it. It's a very nice route. I don't remember much specifically but it was definitely worthwhile. I seem to recall nuts being very useful and considering that this is Blodgett we're talking about I imagine offset nuts and RPs wouldn't go to waste.

This is the only picture I have.
