“Across the deep valley of Red Pass stood a ridge of rock, where the strata were very nearly vertical, and the snow-filled couloirs so peculiarly shaped as to give the intervening rock the appearance of razor-blades,” wrote Arthur Wheeler after his 1911 expedition to the Mount Robson area. “The culminating crest of the ridge was on that account called ’Razor Peak.’”
