Description

Locate the route

Trouble and Strife

, which is difficult to find by following the description in the guidebooks, but is obvious once you are there and see it. From the base of the Lower Peanuts Wall, below

Your Basic Lieback

and

Star Wars

, among others, look uphill and to your right. You will see a small tower of rock with a sharp lightning-bolt fingercrack. going up, to the right, then up again, with the crack getting wider as you climb upwards.  This is Trouble and Strife.

Go up the trail just past T&S, around a corner to a North-facing wall on this same small buttress. Look up on this face. Climb this short wall to the top.  That is the route Tracer.  After this, continue on something more worthwhile, like

Your Basic Lieback

and

Star Wars

, or maybe don't. It's not really worth the hassle if you are not going to go upward from there.
