Description:
Hot Flash is an amazing route that ascends the center of the left hand of two prominent pillars at the right end of the Slabs. Start in an obvious gully on a right facing flake/corner system with a pair of small roofs about 200' up. Climb through the first roof, then move left to avoid the second. From there, head up and slightly left, staying roughly in the center of the buttress for several pitches (avoid the dihedrals left and right), then when the choice presents itself, ascend the arete into another crack system to the summit.Descent Options:
Walk off to the left, then down the lady luck/sunset slabs descent.

great fun
probably the best route on the slabs- the 6th pitch is not to be missed!
