I agree with Will. In the US, you'd be stupid to head off climbing without insurance. The premiums may be high, but aren't crazy. It would be nice if they were lower. Does anyone know if NZAC is going to expand it's new NZ insurance deal to the o/s section?
It'd be good to know if the UK insurer will cover repat. On the plus side, the old insurer with NZAC was also a UK insurance company, so it's obviously not an insurmountable problem to be using an insurer not based in Australia.
