Linking pitches 2 & 3 with a 70m rope will bring you to this nice ledge with 5 feet of extra rope. The belay spot will take anything from a #0.4-#3 camalot and a medium nut.

Saddle Up

Contemplating the moves off the chockstone to start pitch two, during the FA.
A look down from the Chockstone perch to the seconder on pitch 1.
Here's my 17 year old Carson close to finishing off a link up of pitches 2 and 3 for a winning combo. This 225' long crack is most lovely!!
Looking down at the P2 hand crack from the belay just above the white fin.
Starting up the first pitch
Doug Foust at the pitch 3, sloping alcove belay. Going 15 feet above this would bring you to a good 12" varnished ledge that could be more comfortable, and would make pitch 4 less of a rope stretcher.

Top of pitch two belay, above the white handjam/flake. Solid C4 .5, .4, and bomber stopper. Semi-hanging belay.
