I had no idea that naming peaks in a Wilderness requires an act of Congress.
So Brother and Sister are just some other HAZ-made-up monikers. Catherine? Nope. Sorry 9L.

It will be interesting to see if they are successful in renaming Mt. Evans. I didn't realize he was a bad people back in the day.Moving mountains is a proverbially tough task. Naming mountains is no easier. If a mountain is to have a moniker it requires state and federal approval, compliance with a host of rules, the gathering of heaps of local support and, sometimes, even an act of Congress.
