VISA insurance also covers quite a bit, but this depends on the agent that would cover your case.

Just had a detailed look at the info on the insurance provided by the KBF (Klim- en Berg-sport federatie Vlaanderen) and it seems their insurance does cover climbs over 6.000 meters providing you go with an organized trek and not an "expedition". Don't know what your plans are exactly? But this seems like the easiest solution if it is applicable to your case, just become a member there (if you're not already)!

I see Good luck!

Membership in the German alpine club (DAV) includes insurance. I took a quick look and the exceptions refer just to the kind of activities, not height (e.g. expedition style climbs are excluded).
//edit - on a second note this seems to be similar to the mentioned KBF policies.

So this seems to be a perfect example of how commercialised guiding is affecting those of us who don't need or want to be commercially guided. And yet people are always saying it doesn't matter. What next? No climbing at all in some places unless you're guided?

In 2000-01 Damien worked as a guide for ANI on a 1130 km ski journey to the South Pole. He is the youngest Australian to ski to the South Pole and the first Australian to have guided a client to the South Pole. Damien has also climbed on the Antarctic Peninsula, both as a guide and doing GPS work.

Contact Mount Coach. Two MC members are currently on Denali.

This is a current threat by the Peruvian government that may become enforced some time.. !
