Access issues at the Lower Malamute. MORE INFO >>> Much of the Lower Malamute falls into CN Rail's right-of-way. More accurately, the starts of many of the climbs fall into this region. See this link for more details: http://www.access-society.ca/regions/squamish/areas/lower-ma>>>>> Also, see Kevin McLane's 2006 edition of his Squamish Guidbook to see a image of what is and isn't accessible. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

Great right hand facing corner crack. The description in the book says that it is easy than it looks... Felt pretty hard for 5.9. Delicate slab moves using laybacks and poor jams. Sustained climbing for the grade. (Links into Cider Crack 5.9 for the second pitch, or lower back down to do more climbs at the base of the Malamute)

Location 

Rap into the South side of the Lower Malamute. This climb starts at a tidal pool with a metal platform bolted to the base of the cliff.

Protection 

Chain anchors, standard rack, mostly thin hands and smaller.
