Bio
Nació en 1979 en Nagano, es uno de los mejores montañeros japoneses de la actualidad. Ganó el Piolet de Oro en 2009.
Hola, mi nombre es Kazuya Hiraide. Nací en la prefectura de Nagano. Nagano es una región montañosa. Por eso, para mí, las montañas no son algo especial, son el lugar donde crecí. Mi estilo alpinistico es abrir una nueva linea (nuevas rutas) en grandes montañas. Siempre traigo el sol donde quiera que vaya y amo el cafe.
