IMPORTANT: This shortcut bypasses the first silver reward,
so use it at your discretion.
After jumping to grab the first dangling vine, climb up a bit (about 4 times hand-over-hand should do it) and turn about 30 degrees to the right, so Lara is lined up with the jutting boulder on the cliff above.
Swing toward that boulder. Lara will swing into the vines behind her, but this shouldn't cause her to fall. Be sure to get a good, high swing going.
As Lara swings up past the boulder, jump to land near Checkpoint 4.
I believe credit for discovering this shortcut goes to Joshorty, though Gandarufu has provided a great YouTube video showing the technique in action, in case the screenshots aren't enough.
