Richard Charles Mayne in 1859, in honour of the first governor of the colony of Vancouver Island.Some time after this, the peaks in the area were conferred their existing names: Golden Ears 1,716 m (5,630 ft), the twin summit Edge Peak 1,680 m (5,512 ft), a large blocky summit in the center of the group, named for Sam Edge who climbed it in 1876 Blanshard Peak 1,550 m (5,085 ft), the dramatic peak at the southernmost end of the group, also known as The Blanshard Needle
