One of the worst seasons ever in Cordillera. We had two attempts on Alquimia. First time we waited 10 days and a window opened: we went for it but we got stormed 100m from the ridge. We came down to Huaraz and watched " Touching the void" and we went again and just touched the ridge and came down. succes here is to come alive.
