Valkyrie Fallen
Description
A steep face with good holds. Start matched on the 3/4 inch wide edge/rail low and left.
Location
Follow the ridge staying on the right (north) side of the rocks and you should see a problem that follows a striking seam and is a bit tall. That is Carlito's Way V4 named after the legendary Carlo. This takes ten minutes from the parking. Keep following the band and just above that there is a nice cube sitting on a rock bench with small knobs covering the face. Walk a few more feet and you should be on the plateau splitting the Westside proper from Valhalla, the upper area. Look straight up at a pair of two large boulders about ten more minutes up the hill. You will pass a number of other boulders on the way that have chalk on them. Valkyrie Fallen is under the first one although it faces the other way and you can't see it till you get on its west face. Total time is 20 minutes if you find the best way marked by cairns, thirty if you get off track. The trail is fairly steep.
Protection
You actually don't need a pad for this problem but you want one for anything else in the area.
