"Appearance of a 3-pointed Tricouni boot nail."

This explanation is very suspicious. A Tricouni boot nail is not 3-pointed. Note that "Tricouni" has nothing to do with the number 3. "Tricouni" was the nickname of Félix-Valentin Genecand, who was the inventor of these boot nails (Tricouni being the (real) name of one Italien friend and climber he had in his youth and for whom he had great admiration).Sapphorain (talk) 23:41, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"BC Geographical Names" contains a sourced short historical version. I have corrected the article accordingly. Sapphorain (talk) 09:32, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. Actually, the decimal coordinates you've given above correspond to the incorrect coordinates that were in the article. I have, however, emended the article's coordinates to reflect the actual location of the peak at 50.0139, -123.2445. Thanks for pointing out that the coordinates were erroneous.
