LaPlata Peak lies in the central part of the Sawatch Range. Meaning “silver” in Spanish, it was named by the Hayden Survey. It ranks as 5th highest and is considered a moderately difficult climb. The first recorded ascent was by members of the Hayden Survey, but it was likely climbed earlier by those prospecting for silver.
