Discovered and visited in 1929 by the geological party under Laurence Gould of the ByrdAE, 1928-30. It was climbed by geologists of the Southern Party of the NZGSAE, 1963-64. The descriptive name applied by the Southern Party derives from the appearance of the toothlike pinnacle along the crest of the ridge.
