“My brother one day climbed Ptarmigan Mountain to have a look over that side of Mount Robson, but saw little through the clouds,” wrote Arthur Philemon Coleman [1852–1939] of his 1908 expedition to Mount Robson [1].
Coleman was accompanied by his brother Lucius Quincy Coleman [1854–1935] and George R. B. Kinney [1872–1961].
The name was changed to “Titkana Peak” by the Alberta-British Columbia Boundary Commission to avoid duplication.
