I fully endorse Summit FS.

A few years ago I needed Life Insurance for my mortgage. I phoned the big name provider who provided my contents insurance. As soon as I mentioned climbing, not only did the quote shoot up, but they clearly has no concept of climbing as I was asked things such as “How can you be climbing at 4000m with a fall height of anything less than 4000m?” and “Why do you not always use two ropes?”. Summit FS clearly understood climbing, and got me a quote 45% cheaper than the big name provider.

The best part of this is that the quote Summit FS gave me was underwritten by..... yes, you’ve guessed it.... the very same big name provider!

A couple months ago I wanted a travel insurance for rock climbing in Morocco.  Virgin Travel claimed to cover rock climbing but not mountaineering. I called them to specify what they mean exactly by rock climbing/mountaineering. (We all know how arsey they become if you are trying to make a claim) they came up with these definitions:

"If you have expensive kit when you are climbing it's mountaineering."

" If you have one wall it's rock climbing, if you have lots and lots of mountains around you it's mountaineering."

After 20 mins I gave up and just got an insurance from BMC.

I've just signed up with this insurer and I can honestly say they were incredibly professional, personable and efficient. I am off on a remote expedition and urgently needed to sort life insurance.  After a couple of phonecalls it was pretty much sorted. They understood my requests and within a couple of days I had a very reasonable quote with flexibility after a year if my climbing ambitions change. 

Couldn't recommend more highly for service and peace of mind.

Life insurance for rock climbers—seems oddly specific, right?

Well, there’s nothing quite like the moment you start questioning your choice of hobby or contemplating your existence when hanging out over thousands of feet of space.

Having the protection of insurance is good.
