Moe's Valley: Becky Trafecanty Videos
Great Western Power Company climber and Oakland resident, Becky Trafecanty just returned from an extended spring break. She hit up Moe's Valley with Justin Alacron, and others. She made an awesome video of the climbers cranking on the Utah sandstone.
Check out her blog where she has the awesome climbing video of her climbing in Utah as well as some stuff from Red Rocks and beyond.
Here's a video that Becky made of Justin Alacron cranking out some Utah classics.
With a 5-15 minute approach to the climbing, and its easy location in Sacramento Valley, the Vacaville boulders could be an excellent distraction from the pounds of turkey and five different varieties of pumpkin pie.
Bay area climbing legend and Berkeley Ironworks employee, Scott Frye put up Scott's Traverse V7/9. Also there are a number of more moderate problems on the basalt boulders including: Stonewall Traverse V1, The Stonewall V0, Bloody Madness V2, Stoned Dangler V6, Scott’s Traverse V7 or V9, Forty Oz. Traverse V6, Gimme My Forty Sucka V1, Mother Nature V1R, Motherfucker Traverse V4-V5, Space Lord V1
