Kit's journey began in 2005, when she climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. She was hooked on mountaineering from that moment on, and she quickly set her sights on climbing the Seven Summits. But Kit didn't just want to climb these mountains; she wanted to ski them as well. This had only been done by a handful of people before, and it would require Kit to push herself to her limits.

Over the next 10 years, Kit climbed and skied mountains all over the world. She faced extreme weather, altitude sickness, and even an avalanche. But she never gave up on her dream. In 2015, she finally stood on the summit of Mount Everest, the last of the Seven Summits. She had achieved her goal, and she had done it in style.

Higher Love is more than just a climbing book. It's a story of adventure, perseverance, and love. Kit's journey will inspire you to push yourself beyond your limits and to never give up on your dreams. Whether you're a seasoned mountaineer or simply an armchair adventurer, you'll find something to love in Higher Love.

"Higher Love is a must-read for any adventurer. Kit DesLauriers' story is inspiring, and her photography is breathtaking. This book will make you want to pack your bags and head for the mountains."

- Elizabeth Hawley, author of The Himalayan Database

"Kit DesLauriers is a true pioneer. Her journey to climb and ski the Seven Summits is an incredible feat of strength and determination. Higher Love is a beautiful book that will inspire you to dream big and to never give up."

- Adrian Ballinger, founder of Alpenglow Expeditions
