Kit DesLauriers became the first person to ski from the summit of the highest mountain on each continent—the Seven Summits. This is her remarkable story of pushing boundaries in the world's most extreme environments, from Everest to Denali, combining elite mountaineering with expert skiing in a feat that had never been attempted before.
Beyond the physical achievement, this is an intimate portrait of determination, partnership, and the pursuit of seemingly impossible dreams. DesLauriers shares the realities of expedition life, the moments of doubt and triumph, and what drives someone to seek out such extraordinary challenges. Her journey illuminates not just the technical demands of high-altitude skiing, but the profound personal growth that comes from testing one's limits in the most unforgiving places on Earth.
