The mountain was named in 1916 by Morrison P. Bridgland because of its steep faces on all sides.[1][3] Bridgland (1878-1948) was a Dominion Land Surveyor who named many peaks in Jasper Park and the Canadian Rockies.[4] The mountain's name was officially adopted in 1956 by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.[2]
