In 1865 Amé Gorret, Martino Baretti, and J. P. Carrel reached a subsidiary summit on the crest of the mountain, which they subsequently dubbed Pic du Retour.[1] Two years later, Daniel Ballay and Michel Payot guided Douglas Freshfield, C. C. Tucker, T. H. Carson, and J. H. Backhouse to the main summit.[2]
