Pirámide Alejandro Lewis (4,800m) is a fine, rocky pyramid that is part of the Nevado de Cachi and is named after a deceased climber. From Las Pailas, the approach is made by hiking up the Quebrada de la Hoyada. In November, Matias Cruz and Facundo Juárez Zapiola opened a new route on the peak: Trankahuasi (200m, 5+/6b+). Their route follows a diagonal crack on the left side of the south wall for four pitches and finishes by the upper west face. Juárez Zapiola and Patricio Payrola ascended another line on the south wall in 2011, located right of the new route (200m, 6a).
