The mountain was named in 1898 by J. Norman Collie after Viscount James Bryce, who was President of the Alpine Club (London) at the time.[1][5]

Mount Bryce is the fifteenth-highest peak in British Columbia.[3] To the north, it is connected by ridges to the Columbia Icefield. The mountain is rarely climbed due to difficult access although recently built logging roads are alleviating some of the access problems.[3]
