Fantastic climb! Felt pretty bold on the down-climb to the traverse. Moving out and using the undercutting hand holds on the traverse was definitely the crux. Far harder (and bolder) than the sloth in my opinion... Although now I know the route I think it would be a piece of cake.

First climb of this grit trip. At times terrifying, I felt genuinely as though I might fall coming down the flake, had not seen the description of a hidden foothold but found one anyway, then I had to work out the body position to be able to step across. I then couldn't remember whether the climb went up the crack or the face; after much backward and forwarding I committed to the face with the size of the fall and swing firmly in my head. Brilliant adventure.

Fine first pitch, disasterous second pitch. Failing light and a terryfying layback across the flake!

With great difficulty I untied it, freed my foot, wrestled the shoe out the crack, threw it to the floor, lowered off and left Dave to an abseil clean in the dark. Sorry Dave!

I kept moving down the flake by the light of my headtorch to find 'the secret foothold below the roof'. I ended up hanging by my arms with my feet swinging in the dark abyss. It was at this point I knew I had gone too far down the flake. Unbelievably I managed to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, whilst attempting to extricate myself. All in all an emotional ride.

Has been on my wish list since i started climbing and so glad to get it ticked off! Just one slight problem, started on the jamming of the first pitch and after an hour we both decided we couldn't jam very well. So we backed off and did pebble dash then traversed further round into a belay then Pete traversed into the first belay of Valkyrie and we continued onward from there. Cool position moving round the spike and onto the arete, made a second belay on the corner as we only had a single rope, the drag would've been insane! Cool link up!

An experience worthy of the reputation. Got on it first thing, finished at 9.15 a.m. Descending the flake was a lot harder than I had thought it would be, the step across in contrast felt quite straight forward. After turning the corner rope jam came into effect making the first move up feel very tenuous. A howling gale tried to blow me off the top making communication with Dan impossible and I didn't give him enough slack for to descend the flake.

Tom took the first pitch, I did the second. Superb climbing and great exposure.

Managed to reverse (phew) and went up around the arete again. Next day had to ab off to retrieve gear in the crack which Tom couldn't reach.

Lead first pitch, no probs but slightly worrying traverse to flake, above dodgy cam placement. Second pitch - didn't fancy it much after James struggled, but went for it and found the climb-down off the flake good fun, and nailed the step left - then found myself on v.tiny ledge with 10 ft of slack, trying to flick rope over the arete to finish. Glad I wasn't trying to lead that pitch - was at my limit.

Always an absolute classic, even when the start and finish are green and damp! Chris P1, Phil P2. Went up the direct crack on P1 which I hadn't done before. My Rockfax book shows line going round to the right, when in fact I think the crack is probably the correct line (as shown in the BMC guidebook). Rockfax also shows the wrong line after the traverse on P2 (they may have corrected this in the newer edition). Will buy the BMC book instead next time! Where is the four stars button?

Not an easy place to belay at the top either. then managed to abb down for gear, bit of a epic leading to a well jammed sling left on the flake.

Hidden - AltLd rpt - 05/Jun/10

Lead the first pitch which is nice but simple enough. The second pitch is the one; not technically dificult, just airy and committing. The leader will not avoid rope drag, and if using two ropes leave one unclipped for the second to be protected on the flake, or a huge fall is possible! As for the hidden foothold it is as plain as day, so don't go hunting for what is obvious. A true classic!

Paul led P1 in the wet, I led P2 in the dry. P2 is easy apart from the flake (which is just wierd because it's a down climb) and the delicate step is delightful, if you go low enough, stay high and it's gonna be a lot harder! Careful as you step over the newly missing flake on the headwall; it's very muddy/loose.

Our second go on the Valkyrie, successful this time. I led first pitch which I found very enjoyable. Then Gerard went for the meat of the climb. Taught by our experience paid really good attention to rope work. Gerard must be really proud. I've blown my on-sight though. Oh well, I went off route last time as it turned out now, should have move around the arete onto the slab instead of trying to tackle the arete directly. What a fantastic climb!
Kirill - AltLd - 12/Oct/08 with Gerard Thornley

Tricky bulge 6m up then good to the first stance right of the flake. Decent down the flake a bit scary but good holds for feet and hands. Good hidden ledge for right foot at the bottom of the flake. Good under hang hold just above the ledge that you step across to help you over. Traverse around the nose to ascend a difficult slab which to my mind is the crux. After this, good jugs to the top. Weather was misty with a fine rain that made the climb greasy and much more difficult than it normally is. Epic climb with great variety!

Hidden - AltLd O/S - 03/Oct/08

I'd wanted to do this one, particularly the second pitch for *aaaaages*, so I was really very excited to finally get on it. James led the first pitch very nicely, slippy as hell. Then I ended up having a complete and utter nightmare on it (try 15 minutes desperately hanging/slumping/slipping/swearing at the bottom of the flake). Was completely psyched out when it came to making the step across, and took an age to make it. After that bit (and once I'd calmed down again) it went fairly smoothly. Rope work requires as much concentration as hinted at. May need to have a rematch sans cold at some point.

Managed to get on the lip at the bottom of the arete - all the horrible down-climb and the scarry step across, but could not make the move up the crack. Reversed buck to the belay and abseiled from there. Will definitely come back.

Pete accidentally lowered Jo off as she got to the lowest point of the flake much to her annoyance but High winds were to blame not Pete!

Done previously, but on that occasion alternating the leads. This time led all of it.

Awesome route! Led 1st pitch. Simon led 2nd pitch. Had to shake every limb to get the blood flowing again before seconding the second pitch. For Simon it was even worse because he was belaying from the top without any shelter from the icy wind. Seconding down the edge of the flake was probably as hard as leading it since the prospect of a long fall was a possibility. The jams on the left of the flake felt very secure though (lucky as it happened, since a cam was jammed in tightly and I had to spend a while removing it). Want to go back and alternate leads the other way around.

Nice climb. Used the right rope for the traverse across of pitch 2, which left me the left rope to hang down over from the top, protecting the second for the climb down off the belay stance. Stepping across from the flake was not scary, just a serious stretch - maybe i missed the "hidden" foothold?

I lead the exposed 2nd pitch and was pretty damn scared! I knew I wanted my big No.5 cam for the 'step' across from the huge flake, but of course I left it with my partner at the belay and only realised when I got to the crux. Cue comedy routine as I untied a 10m sling, threw one end at my belayer and he slid the cam down the sling so I could place it... great stuff.
