Description
I Seam Stumped is a classic problem at Palisades. It is the most sought after V4 and by far the best. The name comes from the seam feature on the boulder. There was originally a old jagged stump that one would have to cover with pads and it made it less than ideal to fall. Around 2011 the Stump was removed and for about a year it lay next to this climb as climbers who couldn't get established would grab the stump and place it back in the whole as a cheater start. I'm guessing the stump has now been completely dissolved. Work a series of side pulls and underclings. Smearing is key with the feet. This problem is one of the few in Palisades that actually gets good friction with the feet.
