About this listen

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, 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 inspiration, teamwork, and honoring our true nature blazes the trail to every summit, on or off the mountain.

I'm always amazed by those people that can achieve what Kit documents in this book. Scary, inspirational and very entertaining.

The narration is excellent. The book is a well told accounting of mountaineering and skiing and a breath of fresh air among all the accounts written by men (I’ve enjoyed those too, but it’s nice to hear a woman’s perspective).

Enjoyable and inspiring
