Man Rescued From La Plata

A 65-year-old Twin Lakes man was rescued yesterday from La Plata Peak. 

Jeffery Ashby was found by Chaffee County Search and Rescue at 13,000 feet after falling and suffering possible fractures. 

Chaffee County Communications received a call from hikers on the mountain saying they heard a person yelling for help. 

A REACH helicopter was able to locate Ashby and take him to St. Anthony Summit Medical Center in Frisco for treatment of his injuries.
