Mount Stuart, 1986 Girth Pillar Left (AKA Girth Pillar East) route location?

[Michael Telstad]

Does anyone know where the 1986 5.9 A2 Mark Bebie, Charlie Hampson route up the left side of Girth Pillar goes? I've a attached a photo from @Kyle M with where I think the line roughly goes, can anyone confirm this? 

There's a steeper corner on the pillar proper that seems more fitting to the grade than the line I drew.

Didn't a big chunk of the steeper part of the pillar fall down like 30+ years ago?  I know some routes were affected,  just not which.

Some great discussion here, if you haven't read it, but not probably that helpful since I think all right side talk?

Yeah pretty much all the info I can find is for the right side too. Thanks for looking. 

@Tucker_Merrill and I climbed a variation of the line I drew last weekend and are trying to figure out if what we climbed is an existing route or not. Regardless it was super fun and recommend others go take a look if we get another weather window this season. 

I'll be writing a trip report for it at some point unless Tucker beats me to it.
