At that age LO was attempting to move to 1 nap. He did exactly what your LO is doing. I let him crash in the morning, but only for 1 hour max. And then 4 hours layer he went down for a nap, and then there was a nice window until bedtime. So our schedule looked like:

7 am wakeup
8 am nap
1-3 nap
7 pm bedtime

It was such a short, weird time period and then he was able to stay awake longer in the mornings and started napping at 11 am, so we did bedtime of 6pm.

We were going through something similar and we drastically cut his morning nap. My son wakes earlier when his daytime sleep is wonky so we played around with the morning nap since that's the one that drops eventually when you move to a 1 nap schedule. At first we cut the morning nap to 1 hour but that only worked about half the time and the PM nap was sti short. Now we wake him after he's slept 30-40 minutes (I watch him on his monitor until he's asleep and start the clock from there). I hate waking a dead asleep baby but it's enough to take the edge off and he's tired when I put him down around 1:30pm and then I let him sleep as long as he wants. That seems to have fixed his morning waking and he's back to 730pm-730am.

We're also on the 2-3-4 schedule at 13 months, although most days it's more like 2.5-3.5-3.5 or something like that. When DS was doing the early wakeups our schedule was something like this:
5:30 - wakeup
8:30-10 - first nap
1-2:15 - second nap
6:30-6:45 - bedtime

He dropped the third nap pretty late as a result of the early wakeups, so we will likely be on the 2-nap/2-3-4 schedule for a while longer. He has never done super long naps so we just rolled with an early bedtime while he was doing the early wakeups. Just now in the past few weeks he's been reliably going to bed a little later (7pm) and waking up later too (6:45).
