Bower Climbing Coalition

The Bower Climbing Coalition is a nonprofit group of Inland Northwest climbers dedicated to advocacy and stewardship of our climbing resources and education of our community to preserve and expand area climbing into the future.

Bolt placement and the type of hardware used will follow what is considered the current accepted standard. These standards are current ASCA, Access Fund and BCC board member recommendations only.

Andrew Bower’s Legacy

In 2015 we lost a beloved member of our climbing community, Andrew Bower, in a fall at Dishman Hills climbing area. He was there, intending to replace rusted anchor bolts with stainless steel hardware, but slipped on wet moss and mud and fell before he got his equipment out. Hundreds of Spokane’s rock climbs are protected by badly corroded anchor bolts, many of them over 30 years old. Andrew recognized this danger and had singlehandedly replaced dozens in the months before his death. As a climbing community, it is time we carry on Andrew’s legacy and finish this project.
