Getting There 

Park at or get of the shuttle at the grotto and head up the trail towards Shunes Buttress follwing a faint creek..At the large water holding take turn left and go up the steep but short hill. Turn right toward the wall and follow carins and a trail to the base..

To ascess Grasshopper, Rookie Crack and the other climbs near weeping rock, walk down the road ~10 min until you see a faint trail leading up through the scrub oaks (oppisit a pullout on a sharp turn)

DO NOT FOLLOW THE FALCON GUIDE!!!!!!

One it is dangerously inaccurate, Two there is a well developed trail, starting at the grotto and following the creek up!
