You'd have to drop down a bit:
1. You'd have to drop down about 250' in elevation legally bivy. 4,000 feet in elevation is the limit.
2. It's pretty steep near it, slightly lower will at least a little more level in places.
3. I didn't see any flowing water at the base.
Hissssss.
Bivying close was my original thought too. We were out for 2 days. The day before we climbed Marcy's East face (report on SP regarding that that too). We needed a place between the two and chose Slant Rock. Your closest 'site' would be Snobird site near Haystack Brook, but you could just find a spot below it with water nearby as well and be within an hour's 'whack I'd think.
