Locking to the valley means the boat goes down through the lock. This maneuver is the easier one because the lines can be kept on the slip and do not have to be folded over.
The lock uphill, i.e. lifting the boat, is the more demanding task. The lines must be used here unless there are lock rods or floating bollards.
This was a bit of a loophole, it's fun to watch...
