In Higher Love, Kit DesLauriers recounts the two-year journey that made her the first person to climb and ski the highest mountain on every continent. From Antarctica and Africa to the Himalaya, the Seven Summits become the setting for a deeply personal story about ambition, risk, teamwork, persistence, and finding a path that feels true to oneself.

DesLauriers takes readers through the very different challenges of each mountain, from extreme cold and remote approaches to technical terrain and the consequences of skiing from the world's highest summits. The journey culminates on Mount Everest in 2006, when she completed the historic Seven Summits project.

Part ski-mountaineering adventure and part personal memoir, Higher Love offers an inside look at both the logistics of a remarkable global objective and the mental and emotional landscape behind pursuing it.
