Nobukazu Kuriki

He successfully climbed the 8000 meter peaks Cho Oyu in August 2007 and Dhaulagiri in May 2009.

In his third time climbing the Nepal side in August to October 2011, Kuriki was not able to reach 7,900 meters.

During his fourth attempt in October 2012, he gave up due to the strong wind, and lost nine of his fingers to frostbite after spending two days in a snow hole at temperatures below -20 °C.

[8] He gave well-attended lectures across Japan on the theme of "shared adventure" and the value of perseverance,[9][10] and attracted numerous social media followers with his online postings, including videos and photos of his climbs.

[6] Kuriki successfully climbed the highest peaks of six continents (the Seven Summits) during his career, including Denali, Aconcagua, Mount Elbrus, Kilimanjaro, the Carstensz Pyramid, and Mount Vinson.
