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

Combining P3 & P4 is definitely the way to go!

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.

From the Valley Loop Trail, this takes you up to the base of Super Slide.

Looking up at the start of pitch 4.

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.

Starting up P3/P4 connected.

Looking up near the start of the route. Route begins on the right.

Gloomy day on the Super Slide.

Starting up pitch 3. Might be the loose rocks others mention in the comments.
