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.

Hot Flash
Well I'm glad Vegastradguy climbed this a few days prior and put it in the RDB ! I thought the first 6 Pitches were excellent. The rest of the climb is a natural continuation of the line to the top of a small tower. The decent via first creek slabs is long but easy. There are pretty fresh slings on the raps. we had 1 70 m
