Higher Love: Climbing and Skiing the Seven Summits

By Kit DesLauriers

Book Overview

In 2006 Kit DesLauriers made history by becoming the first person to climb--and then ski--from the summit of each continent's highest mountain, the famed Seven Summits. Centered on this quest, her book Higher Love represents a hero's journey, rich with personal insights, life-threatening consequences, and a thrilling crescendo. Spanning seven continents in just two years, this deeply personal memoir recounts Kit's initially secret journey that would change her life forever. From braving Antarctica's bone-chilling temperatures to trudging through an African rainforest, from corn snow on the slopes of Australia to blue ice on Everest, Kit leads you up each mountain and gives you a heart-racing ride back down. This candid, fast-paced story shows how in?spiration, teamwork, and honoring our true nature blazes the trail to every summit, on or off the mountain.
