Please don't climb on the lower Malamute. The entire Malamute was almost permanently closed last year because of people illegally using the Lower Malamute. Added to other access issues with the Sea to Sky Highway expansion and increased housing causing bad access fights at the Smoke Bluffs, it's just not a good look.

There's plenty of good stuff that gets ignored at Squish (eg, the Squaw) without having to risk the climbs for others.
