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. frown.gif
