We belayed from the crack at start of P3 to make room for a party behind us. P3 is super fun 5.7

Super Slide upper ramp.

Cool guys from LA cruising the start of P5. Notice the line of water on climbers' right - not a great early spring route.

Looking up at the 5th pitch (5.9 hand and finger crack) from the belay station at the top of 4th pitch

You can rappel the route with a single 70m rope. The crucial rappel is to rappel off the tree on the right side of the ledge at the top of Pitch 2.

Combining P3 & P4 is definitely the way to go!

Base of the Super Slide "Direct" start. It's just left of the roof at the base and right of the regular start. You should be looking at a fist crack as shown in this photo. My 70m rope is shown rapping from P1 bolts, which perfectly reaches with stretch.
