In 1999, the American climbers Conrad Anker and Jim Donini failed in their attempt over the west ridge.[3] The third successful ascent was by the Chilean Camilo Rada and Australian Damien Gildea via a new route over the south face in December 2007. Their GPS measurements on top suggested a height 153 m above the official one.[2] This mountain is named after Robert Epperly (born 1926) who spent time during the International Geophysical Year of 1957–1958 in Antarctica. Bob served in the US Navy at that time. He lived his latter years in Worthington, Massachusetts and is interred there.
