Allen Carpé [1894–1932] was an American engineer and mountaineer who in 1924, along with Rollin Thomas Chamberlin [1881–1948], and A. L. (Pete) Withers, went up Tête Creek “and made some fine climbs, among them Mount Sir Wilfrid Laurier.” (1) Carpé was a member of the Alpine Club of Canada since 1920. He lost his life on Mount McKinley in May 1932, as the leader of a party making scientific observations relating to cosmic rays.
The name was adopted at the suggestion of the Alpine Club of Canada following a proposal by the 1949 mountaineering party of Sterling Brown Hendricks [1902–1981] and Andrew John Kauffman [1920–2002].(2)
