The Plata summit and its relatively easy access make it the perfect mountain for starting mountaineering at high altitude.
We can consider it a great stepping stone for the climbing of higher mountains as Aconcagua, like many expeditions do. It is at 6.000 m above the sea level and of course it will open the door to the mountain world.
