2-2-3-6?

Has anyone else finished it, and has found that one column (the Q one) has no clash?

Thank you, chrise!

I'm struggling to see how JASP is the answer to
Japanese clasps showing originally 16th century stone. (I can see J = Japanese and the definition)
Also can I have a lead on these two -
In Idaho, slash netting, getting fine (8)
Ruddy woman's garment getting caught (5)

Thanks

JASP = JAP grasping Showing's first (originally)

CLEARING (triple def; slash = clearing in a forest/ net = clear as in profit/ getting fine, as the weather.

BLOWZE

BLOWZE = sounds like BLOUSE, getting caught, i.e. heard, as in "did you catch that?"

I'm struggling with:

Minor figure is Tour de France twice loses lead

and

Coke deliverers often lift old black sack in the van

any hints gratefully received

(cy)CLIST - a C-LISTER is a minor celebrity

STRAWS - SWART reversed + first letter of Sack. Coke as in the soft drink.

Thanks Kilgore. I'm making very slow progress but enjoying the challenge!
