Stonehedge-
I think it’s a bespoke package and I’d take the helicopter rescue bit with a pinch of salt. Many years ago I tried to medivac a stroke victim (trekker) from Base camp on the North side and despite having helicopter rescue in their expensive insurance the PLA weren’t having any of it. There was a well documented rescue more recently but they were flying at or above the machines limits I gather.

BMC will cover 8000m peaks but possibly not K2 in winter!
