It is linked by Karnare Col to Mount Strybing in the southern Sentinel Range.
To avoid confusion and to fix the position of the name, US-ACAN redefined Mount Craddock in 2006 to apply to the southernmost peak described above.
[2] The mountain was named by US-ACAN for J. Campbell Craddock (1930–2006), leader of a University of Minnesota expedition (1962–63) that made geological investigations and cartographic surveys in the Sentinel and Heritage Ranges of the Ellsworth Mountains.
During 1960–61, Craddock led a Minnesota geological expedition in examining the Jones Mountains.
Rada Peak and Bugueño Pinnacle were named for Camilo Rada and Manuel Bugueño, climbing partners of Damien Gildea, a leading Antarctic researcher and climber.
