A German group identified the mountain as part of the First International Polar Year (1882–1883) and named it Pic or Pikstock . After the first ascent on January 30, 1955 by the doctor Ian M. Brooker and the geodesist Edgar Clive Webb as part of the British South Georgia expedition (1954–1955), the mountain was renamed Mount Brooker after one of the two first climbers.
