Pitch 3 (from below). Niki is at the top in pink, about to belay me up from the next ledge. I'm standing on a ledge about 10' below the anchor. <br>

Top of climb, showing alternative belay spot for last pitch (see COMMENTs) and that you move left ( . stepping down. ) from the fixed pin to climb the face on the left.
Catharsis - Roughly the line to follow
Now, exactly where does the 4th pitch go?
Looking up at P3 from the top of P2.
Most of P4 from the top of P3. Walk right from the belay to start under the first overlap. Climb to the 2nd overlap, undercling to the corner then up. Move up the pin, clip, go left and continue up face (I didn't follow the arch). Exit the arch before the end of it, then friction to the top.

View from the belay ledge at the top of pitch 3. Great spot to enjoy the view and rest up for the final pitch.
A rope has been installed which leads from the access trail (past the Visor), to the base of Cartharis. (This pic is looking down to the trail from near the base of Catharsis.)
