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.

Onsight ascent by:
1,280 ft.
Did this over Memorial Day Weekend, had sun all day. Good climbing. Nobody was out there. A lot of run-out: careful on P4, about 60ft of run-out (on 5.6-ish terrain). I really liked P1, 2, 3, & 6. It's a long day, you'll sleep good after this one, 1,280 ft. of climbing. I think it's a good one to build endurance, and fun! Luckily we knew the descent from Lady Luck, that was very helpful because could have been a bit of a hassle otherwise.
