Named after Friedrich Parrot (1791–1841), the German naturalist and physician who in 1829 made the first recorded ascent of Mount Ararat (5137 m) and who carried out early scientific work on Monte Rosa. The summit was first climbed on 16 August 1863 by an English party with Anderegg. The Parrotspitze is taken in today as one of a string of summits on the classic 'Spaghetti Tour' high-altitude traverse of the Monte Rosa summits.
