Parrotspitze, Summit in Monte Rosa Massif, Switzerland
The Parrotspitze rises to 4,432 meters above sea level, forming a prominent mountain peak within the Monte Rosa range of the Pennine Alps.
The successful first ascent of Parrotspitze occurred on August 16, 1863, when a team of British climbers and Swiss guides reached the summit together.
The mountain carries the name of Johann Jakob Friedrich Wilhelm Parrot, a German physician who made early attempts to explore the Monte Rosa region.
Climbers access the summit through the standard west ridge route, which requires glacier travel experience and professional mountain guide assistance.
The mountain exhibits different profiles when viewed from various angles, appearing as a pyramid from east and west but showing a rounded form from the north.
