Look for the path going out the obvious ridge, straight to the canyon. Use this approach for all the various areas. On top of the broad mesa, the path is marked with parallel logs often enough to keep you going right if you keep your eyes open. If you're on the track when you get to the edge of the cliff, getting down is easy. Once in the wash, hike up canyon and look for cairns to show the best way to the Upper Cliff/Capulet. The Main Cliff has a fairly easy way up, opposite the major side canyon opposite it and 3/4 of the way down its length.

Claudia jamming through the crux. December 2012.
Golden hour near the Upper Cliff
Looking up canyon to to the Upper Wall and Capulet side canyon from near the Lower (main) Wall pre-Las Conchas fire of 2011. It's far less green now, sadly.
