taller than
the Seven Summits
Kit DesLauriers

Kit DesLauriers
she asks if there is another peak
to conquer

putting everyone behind her
Kit DesLauriers skis
the Seven Summits

Everest
Not even the most elite skiers in the world set their sights on skiing Mount Everest. However, last fall Kit DesLauriers, the world freeskiing champion in 2004 and 2005, did just this, becoming the first female to ski Mount Everest. She's also the first person—male or female—to ski all Seven Summits, the highest points on all seven continents.
