This stretch starts out with a long rightward traverse thru the loose diorite band, to gain the upper dihedrals.

After these less inspiring leads, the climbing radically improves with a classic Yosemite flare that is as strenuous as any. Barely recovered from this thrash fest you're faced with 300 feet of flawless, laser cut dihedral with a finger sized crack in the back.
When this ends at an exposed hanging belay, it gets even better. A short penji sends you into an A2 crack, that probably contains the finest aid on the whole climb.

Things continue up a killer RP corner with beautiful geometry to another hard, but fully enjoyable crack. The loose flakes mentioned on the topo was not too bad, with the belayer protected by overhangs and bomber gear before and after. But this was in '92 and things likely have changed.
There was also a cool reach move to gain an overlap just before the belay.

Overall, pitch 21 to 26 are some of the finest, cleanest aid I've ever done.
