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.

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.

Base of Catharsis. You can see a climber at the top left of the photo just starting out P1.

View from the belay ledge at the top of pitch 3. Great spot to enjoy the view and rest up for the final pitch.
Luc on P4 variation
Clear view with decent resolution.
