Private Rescue · Summit Extension
Coverage Where the Air Gets Thin
Standard evacuation services stop where altitude begins. Summit extends coverage above 4,600 metres, or 15,000 feet, for trekking and climbing itineraries. Add it to Rescue or Rescue Command. It is included free with Rescue Black.

What Summit Covers
Altitude changes everything about a rescue: thinner margins, shorter weather windows, fewer assets able to reach you. Summit is built for that reality, three capabilities that matter when the emergency is measured in metres above sea level.
- Emergency evacuation due to injury or illness above 4,600 metres, excluding airplane travel.
- Coordination with helicopter and ground rescue assets in major climbing regions.
- Medical advisory experienced in altitude illness, including HAPE and HACE.
If Your Route Crosses 4,600 Metres, You Need It
Everest Base Camp sits at 5,364 metres. Kilimanjaro summits at 5,895. The Annapurna Circuit crosses 5,416 at Thorong La. If any point of your itinerary goes above the threshold, add Summit at checkout or choose Rescue Black and carry it automatically.
The Honest Comparison
Included at the Top. By Design.
Most providers sell high altitude coverage as a paid extra on every tier they offer. We publish Summit pricing openly for Rescue and Rescue Command, and include it at no charge in Rescue Black. That is a deliberate choice, not a promotion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Summit for Kilimanjaro?
Yes. Kilimanjaro reaches 5,895 metres, well above the 4,600 metre threshold, so Summit is required for evacuation coverage on the mountain unless you hold Rescue Black, which includes it.
Can I add Summit after purchase?
Yes. Summit can be added to an active Rescue or Rescue Command membership through your account or member services before your itinerary crosses the altitude threshold.
