This NW ridge of Mount Robson rises above Emperor Falls on the Robson River.
Arthur Philomen Coleman [1852–1939] explored the Mount Robson area in 1907 and 1908, with a party that included George R. B. Kinney [1872–1961]. Kinney made an attempt to climb Mount Robson with Donald “Curly” Phillips [1884–1938] in 1909, nearby this ridge. The ridge was not sucessfully climbed until 1961, when Ronald Perla and Tom Spencer reached the summit.
