Originally submitted to Geographic Board in 1927 by Alfred J. Ostheimer, with names for numerous peaks in the Clemenceau Glacier area. Origin/significance of this particular name not supplied, although he suggested that a possible origin was given in the mountaineering journal Appalacia, vol X, p.34 [copy not provided/contents not known]. Most of Ostheimer's names were originally rejected by the Geographic Board of Canada because of the sheer volume of his submissions, none in the least relevant to Canada or to the Canadian Rockies. Mr. Ostheimer did, however, publish, circulate and promote his names in mountaineering journals (Canadian Alpine Journal, vol XVI, 1927, American Alpine Journal, Appalachia, etc) with the result that many of the names gained extensive use amongst mountaineers and were adopted in subsequent years.
