Cairns Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 The railroad and the tourismos should compare thoughts on where to go and what to do. Rap in for that climb. Tickets have been given lately for walking in along the tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choss_headwall Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 My friend Chris and I climbed that back in the early 90's just before they replaced the upside-down fixed pins in the quintuple roofs at the top with bolts. Â Sketch-mo! Â What a great route though, too bad the Lower is closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murraysovereign Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Many routes on the Lower Malamute require you to approach along the railway right-of-way. Railways generally don't like people running around on their rights-of-way, for obvious safety reasons (trains can't turn real quick, and their stopping isn't much better). For years the railway tolerated the presence of a few climbers at the Lower Malamute, but in recent years the numbers were increasing, and the railway could no longer turn a blind eye. So they started enforcing their right-of-way. There was a concerted attempt by both the railway and local climbing community to address their concerns in a manner that would allow the Lower Malamute to re-open to climbing, but the railway was in the end unable to endorse the proposed solution. So it remains closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stemalot Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I remember that photo. The caption for that photo said something like: "XXX climbing on the Chief." I got a good laugh out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
