DK > Rear Window 40m 20 
This route is only included because you can rap down it - it's nothing to write home about. If you don't rap into this one however, it's harder to find. Starts on an upper terrace around R of the above route. Walk 10m around R of NFSATJ, then walk L up the slab/gully for 15m. Now scramble up and R. Starts at the arête in the boulder choked gully below the abseil station. 1) 20m (crux) Tricky starting moves up the arête passing a couple of FH's quickly relents to crappy climbing up and R to large ledge and DBB. 2) (16) The crux of this pitch is right off the belay. Up and L passing 3 FH's and some natural pro. The single FH and thin crack heading directly up the latter section of this pitch is a 23 done by John Pearson (4/97).
Mark Gommers, Michael Dielenberg 9/93.
DK > ** Joy Boy 21m 21/22 
One of the cliff classics and the epitome of Mt Stuart climbing. If the bottom half was like the top, it would be three stars. Up the grungy corner (14) 3m R of BGMRTF to ledge. From here, boldly blast straight up the 10m face passing three FH's with the crux at the third FH to the top.
Mark Gommers, Scott Fry 4/91.

Starts about 10m R of D. 1) 25m (crux) Climb slab with crack running up it and belay below the point where the crack runs off R. 2) 20m (18) Up the crack, then exposed traverse moves R-wards and then up vertically following the crack to belay at the obvious ledge above. 3) 15m (17) Step out L to bridge the void into the crack, then up the crack and easily up the slab. To escape from this point, scramble R-wards up the vegetated gully.
