I struggle to imagine it hasn't been done given the style, what has been done and where it is. But the only thing left of Caligula I can find that might remotely be it is Monarch Variant Start which says the obvious off width left of Caligula to tope of flake and L to Monarch, although there is no way that route would go into Monarch! That doesn't necessarily mean much with the old Buff guide though.

My other thought is that is a long way off 24. Have you done Monarch? I tried to find a picture of the grade 17 second pitch, but to no avail. It makes that route look, well, 17.
