Insurance...

Please make sure you have up to date travel & activity insurance that covers rock climbing & mountaineering. You’ll need to show us details of this so bring a copy with you. Unfortunately, we will be unable to proceed with the course without the insurance. See the ActiveCard and the BMC links below:

Participation Statement...

"Climbing and mountaineering are activities with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions and involvement." (BMC Participation Statement) We are covered by professional liability insurance but you are responsible for organising your own CANCELLATION, CURTAILMENT & ACCIDENT COVER
