We cover mountaineering up to a maximum altitude of 6,000M on our Ultimate Activity Pack. We define mountaineering as climbing mountains involving ice climbing, rock climbing and mixed climbing where you carry all your belongings with you at all times. Note we do not cover mountaineering without ropes, harnesses, or other protective equipment, climbing in remote or inaccessible regions, exploratory expeditions or new routes. For specialised mountaineering cover, for example to cover the summit of Everest, we suggest you approach the British Mountaineering Council for cover.
Do not confuse mountaineering with trekking. If you can trek to the top of a mountain then that is fine, like Kilimanjaro in Tanzania or Mera or Island Peak in Nepal, you should choose Trekking cover from either the Adventure (to 4,600M) or Extreme Activity Pack (over 4,600M) depending on the altitude you’re trekking to.
