It was named, around 1960, after the previously fictitious peak featured in the comic novel The Ascent of Rum Doodle by William Ernest Bowman.

There is a small hut at the base (altitude 498m ASL), sleeping 5 people, and two permanently frozen lakes alongside, named Rumdoodle Lake and Lassitude Lake.
