This mountain is named after the Swiss mountaineer George Frey, who perished climbing this peak with Tenzing Norgay in 1951. Norgay advised Frey to put on his crampons, but Frey disregarded this advice and continued climbing without them. As a tribute to Frey, his ice axe and crampons are still left where they fell at the base of Frey Peak.{{Cite web |title=The HJ/17/17 IN MEMORIAM |url=https://www.himalayanclub.org/hj/ |access-date=2022-05-23 |website=The HJ/17/17 IN MEMORIAM |language=en}}
