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.

Saddle Up
Contemplating the moves off the chockstone to start pitch two, during the FA.
Mark and Bryan starting on Saddle Up.
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.
Doug Foust nearing the end of pitch two in the solid white handjam/flake.
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.
