John Norman Collie [1859–1942] reported that during their 1910 visit to the area Leopold Charles Maurice Stennett Amery [1873–1955], Arnold Louis Mumm [1859–1927], and Swiss guide Moritz Inderbinen [1856–1926] climbed “the Yellow Head Mountain.” This mountain was probably the one ascended by McEvoy, Collie added. James McEvoy [1862–1935 studied the geology of the area in 1898.
