Sidney Unwin completed the first recorded ascent of the mountain in 1908 while guiding Mary Schäffer during her expedition to locate Maligne Lake.
The Geographical Names Board of Canada officially recognized Mount Unwin in 1947, preserving the connection between the peak and its first documented climber.
