In 1905, the mountain was named in honor of Alexander G. McAdie by James E. Church. McAdie ran the U.S. Weather Bureau in San Francisco at the time, and had visited the summit of Mount Whitney in 1903. The name first appeared on a map in 1956 with the publication of the USGS, 15 minute, Mount Whitney Quadrangle topographic map.
The north summit can be reached from Arc Pass and was first climbed by Norman Clyde in 1922. The west face was first climbed in 1954 and is a class 4 ascent.
