Route Setters Insurance

As a route setter, your job requires a unique set of skills to design and create climbing routes that challenge and excite climbers. At Lime Street Active Leisure we understand the complexities of your role and provide specialist insurance to keep you protected while you work. Our public liability insurance for route setters is designed to cover the risks that come with setting and maintaining climbing routes, whether you’re working at a local climbing gym or on a global scale.

Public Liability Insurance for Route Setters

Our public liability insurance ensures you’re covered for claims made by third parties, such as injuries or property damage that may occur during the setting process or while you’re on-site. This cover is essential for protecting your business from costly legal expenses and reputational damage, allowing you to focus on your craft with peace of mind.

Tailored Cover Options

We offer a range of optional extensions to our public liability insurance to ensure your needs are fully met. These include:

  • Employer’s Liability Insurance: If you employ staff or subcontractors to assist in route setting, this cover will protect you against claims made by your employees for injury or illness sustained while working.
  • Worldwide Cover: Whether you’re setting routes domestically or internationally, our global cover ensures you’re protected no matter where your work takes you.
  • Tool Cover: We provide protection for your tools and equipment in case of loss, theft, or damage, ensuring you can continue working without disruption.
  • Coaching and Instruction Insurance: If you also offer climbing coaching or instruction as part of your service, we can extend your coverage to protect you against claims from participants in your classes or sessions.
  • Activity Equipment Insurance: This ensures that the equipment you use, such as climbing holds, ropes, and other activity-specific gear, is covered in the event of damage or loss.
  • Personal Accident Insurance: This cover provides compensation if you’re injured while setting routes, helping to ensure you’re financially supported while recovering.

Testimonials

“Even though Lime Street Brokers is a new company, I have worked with Laura for the last few years. The reason I have stayed with Laura is because I can see that providing the right insurance for her clients really matters to her. This allows me to have full trust in her. I’ve needed climbing wall insurance for the last 15 years and in that time I have never come across a broker like Laura. She regularly checks in to make sure everything is ok and if any laws change that may affect me, she will get in touch to let me know. All in all, I know I’m in safe hands.”
Ben, City Bloc

Their competitive pricing, attention to detail and deep understanding of our industry that truly set them apart. The insurance policy they tailored for us perfectly meets the specific needs of our business, giving us complete peace of mind. Their professionalism and expertise have made the entire process seamless. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, industry-focused insurance solutions!”

“Always a pleasure to work with the team at Lime Street, knowledgeable, efficient, and most important of all our premiums have come down considerably as a result of their efforts, Thank You.”
Kevin, Graystone Action Sports
“It’s been great working with Laura from Lime Street on our new policy. For an insurance broker, her knowledge on our business as a skatepark and education setting is great. Knowing that she knows what she is talking about gives us the confidence to know that we have got the best cover. The communication from her has been great too and I know that if I have any questions, all I need to do is pick up the phone. To add to this, I have no issues referring Laura and Lime Street onto any other business owners I know as I am extremely confident she will provide the same amazing services to them as she has to us.”
Tosh, LS-Ten
“We’re thrilled to share our experience with Lime Street Brokers as our climbing insurance provider. From the very beginning, their team demonstrated an impressive understanding of the unique challenges and risks associated with running a climbing centre. They guided us through every step of the process, ensuring we had the right coverage tailored to protect both our business and our climbers. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Thanks to Lime Street Brokers (and in particular Laura from their Sports and Leisure division), we now operate with the confidence that our centre is fully protected, allowing us to focus on what we do best – creating an amazing climbing experience for our community. We’re incredibly grateful for their support and highly recommend them to any climbing centre looking for a reliable insurance partner!”
