Lawrence E. Nielsen (Harvard Mountaineering Club) led an expedition in this area during the summer of 1968; they named the mountain because of its shape, "...that of a double horn". The climb is described in Canadian Alpine Journal, Vol 52, 1969, pp 5-11. Source: BC place name cards, or correspondence to/from BC's Chief Geographer or BC Geographical Names Office |
