La Plata Peak Elevation: 14336 ft / 4370 m

La Plata Peak (14,336 ft.) is another big and bulky Sawatch mountain, similar in configuration to Colorado's highest two mountains Mt. Elbert and Mt Massive. The Hayden Survey Team first climbed the peak on July 26th, 1873, then naming the peak La Plata, which means "silver" in Spanish. (Source-Historian Walter R. Borneman) Staying with the typical Sawatch mountaineering theme, La Plata has steep surrounding slopes and gentle, broad ridges leading to its large summit plateau. In contrast to other Sawatch fourteeners, La Plata Peak has an unequaled personality of its own. Colorado's 5th highest mountain harbors a classic technical route, a route that is reserved for only the true mountaineer, the rugged and spectacular Ellingwood Ridge. This sensational 2 mile long ridge is the true redeeming quality that separates La Plata Peak from its neighboring fourteeners.
