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: access-society.ca/regions/s…
Also, see Kevin McLane's 2006 edition of his Squamish Guidbook to see a image of what is and isn't accessible.

Description
This classic crack offers some excellent crack climbing with some of the most amazing views in Squamish. The 5.8/5.9 crux is right at the bottom, it's all smooth sailing from there.
It's possible to access the base of the climb with a single rope by hiking (or rapping, but why bother) to the base of Paul's Crack (described for that route), then making a short rappel to the base of HWM. Sep 6, 2007

I didn't have a 4" cam or doubles of my nuts but I found the protection very straight-forward and forgiving. Oct 13, 2009
